[0:02] An echo of the Nazi and anti-Semitic
[0:05] past sets off fear and anger in Europe.
[0:08] Protests sweep the continent. The US and
[0:10] allies hit back as a former fan of
[0:13] Hitler gains power in Austria.
[0:16] Help wanted. The US economy creates more
[0:19] jobs putting unemployment at a 30-year
[0:22] low. And Alaska digs out from under an
[0:25] avalanche disaster.

[1:20] Party were being sworn into a new
[1:22] government but reluctantly by Austrian
[1:25] President Thomas Klestil who said he too
[1:27] found the anti-immigration
[1:29] ultra-nationalist sentiments of the
[1:31] party unpalatable.
[1:34] The man at the center of the crisis,
[1:35] party leader Jörg Haider, won't be in
[1:38] the government himself but will still
[1:40] call the tune from his provincial
[1:41] stronghold.
[1:44] It's Haider's inflammatory remarks
[1:46] belittling Nazi atrocities and
