Dracula Update

Controversy over Dracula's castle - Yahoo! News: "BUCHAREST, Romania - Romania's government on Thursday defended its decision to return 'Dracula's Castle' to members of the former royal family, denying allegations that the decision was illegal.

The castle, famous for its links to a 15th-century medieval ruler who inspired Bram Stoker's 'Dracula,' was confiscated in 1948 by the former communist regime.

'When it comes to property confiscated by the communists, I as a prime minister don't have any problems with returning it,' said Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu."
