Waldheim seen as likely candidate for Austrian presidency
Waldheim shows calm defiance when pressed about running for president as Austrian diplomats expect a decision. He would likely fare better than in 1971 if he enters, backed by the conservative People’s Party, after a rapid rise from UN secretary general to a Washington lecturer on diplomacy. He chairs the 25 member Interaction Council with former leaders such as Schmidt, Callaghan, Fukuda and Senghor, aiming to influence global policy and seek private funding. Waldheim headlines U S appearances, donating lecture fees to a Kurt Waldheim chair in international law at Florida State University.
