- Description
- Episode Description
- Another look (cf. the visits with Prince Nicholas Romanov, #S848, and King Constantine, #S854) at the possibility of restoring monarchy in the countries emerging from behind the Iron Curtain. Whether you find Mr. Leddihn enthralling or infuriating, where else can you hear from someone who has first-hand memories of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? WFB: "There's no presumption, is there, that the first-born male is going to have these particular qualities? Is it simply your notion that to vest certain powers in him rather than in the population at large is a safer historical bet?" EKL: "I can give you here a saying: 'A monarch can be a Nero or a Marcus Aurelius, and the people collectively can be a Nero, but never ever a Marcus Aurelius.'" Currently there is only a digitized transcript available for this episode.
