Stormont Castle, which looks like the workshop of your average prosperous Mass Ave, undertaker, has had only four residents. All four-Craigavon, Brookeborough, O'Neill, and Chichester-Clark-have been members of the Unionist Party. The Unionists have ruled Ulster since 1922. The Unionists have been unable to prevent all non-Unionists from voting in elections, but they have managed to do the next best thing to make the opposition impotent...

...Lord Craigavon, plain-spoken Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, announced that he and Prime Minister Eamon de Valera of independent Eire had been unable to agree on a united defense program for Britain's western back door. Mr. de Valera feared touching off a civil war if, before the Germans came, he let in British soldiers or let the Royal Navy reoccupy its old bases at Berehaven, Lough Swilly and Cobh. The British Army massed troops to rush across the Irish Sea when the hour struck, and R. N. calmly announced new minefields from Scotland to Iceland to Greenland...
