The King of Greece, his name is Alexander the First.
He died. He was only twenty seven years old. See
three weeks earlier. He was out walking his dog in
his palace gardens and his dog in the gardener's monkey
and a god they got into a fight. Well, alex Alexander,

one hundred thousand dollars bribe. Now he had to spend
the next year in prison and had to pay back

one hundred thousand dollars in his fine. Now he was
the first presidential cabinet member who was actually convicted of
a crime. So at one hundred thousand dollars in nineteen
twenty nine, it's about one point nine million today nineteen
thirty two. Over in Italy. The Italian people, so they
were starting to not like so much that they were
being ruled by a dictator. So to ease all their
