...years, he alone has the power to choose his Prime Minister. He regularly plays shum-shir-the Ethiopian equivalent of musical chairs-to prevent his top ministers from gaining too much power, and he still serves as his nation's highest court: any subject in the land can appeal his grievances to the Emperor and get a personal hearing. To maintain his authority, he employs a 35,000-man army, a 29,000-strong police force, an elite palace guard and three separate intelligence services...
...same meeting resolved another troublesome question for the organization: should it try to establish itself as a body with no specific objectives, or should it immediately attack a single question to rally support?

Indeed in the South, where Democrats have wielded a segregationist whip for decades, Brooke's kind of liberal Republicanism could become a major stimulant to a G.O.P. revival among black men?although, so far, Southern Republicans have...
...hero, the chap who is supposedly above class-but if he really is, why does he keep aggressively displaying his non-U traits and compulsively needling Old Blighty's oldest values? With Caine, all this springs from something deeper than dialogue and technique, as does his mock-deadly appeal to women. He acquired these powers on "this long impossible road" from an impoverished Cockney London background through ten years of hardscrabble apprenticeship. "I've never had dramatic training," he says. "I'm a natural who has learned technique by mistakes...
