Austrian son laid to rest — with class.
Jörg Haider, thebest known Austrian politician, was killed in a car crash on October11. His death marks the end of a colorful career untypical for a“far-Right” figure. Armani-clad fitness fanatic, ArnoldSchwarzenegger’s pal with a permanent tan, Haider cut a figure vastlydifferent from the bland establishmentarians who have run Austria fordecades. Villified by the European elite class as a neo-Nazianti-Semite, he was a talented man of uncertain principles, greatambition, and dubious judgment.
