“He said no, firmly, to the freedom of the Social Democrats. He said no, courageously, to freedom of the press...He said no to the right to strike, no to assemblies, no to the existence of parties other than his own...And so, once his little moment of hesitation had passed... Schuschnigg the intransigent, Mr. No, negation made dictator. turned toward Germany and, with a strangled voice, red snout and moist eye, uttered a feeble "yes.”
