Far Right The Austrian Chancellor, Viktor Klima, telephoned Prime Minister Ehud Barak of Israel today to tell him that a far-right party that came in second in Austria's general election would not be invited to join a new government, Mr. Barak's office said. Austrian Blames Political Foes Jorg Haider rejected foreign criticism of his far-right Freedom Party today, saying his Austrian political opponents were behind the attacks. In 2d Place With 250,000 absentee ballots finally counted, the results of Austria's Oct. 3 elections were declared official today, with the far-right Freedom Party holding onto second place by a mere 415 votes. A national election in which the outside world may have shown more interest than Austrians did ended rather inconclusively tonight. I take a different view of someone comparing me to Adolf Hitler than when someone calls me a jerk.
Freedom is about authority.
Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it. But it's ultimately the results that matter. The Hitler analogy is something that seems to amuse many people in this city. Cutesy stories have been written and published in the past week about an art installation on Madison Avenue called No York in which the mayor is depicted with a Hitler moustache. In satire and protest, the Mayor of the City of New York is again being likened to some of the vilest figures in history.
