...theme "For us, for you, for a free land, for Namibia." The party has hired helicopters to carry Alliance organizers to areas where SWAPO influence is considered strong.

...late Cambridge Don C.S. Lewis was untroubled by the prospect of life elsewhere. Writing in the Christian Herald two decades ago, he saw no reason why the eternal Son of God could not also have been incarnate in other worlds, or why God could not devise a totally different form of redemption.

Although the limerick form appears in few prosody handbooks, Asimov followed strict, traditional rules. Limericks must have five lines. The first, second and fifth lines must all rhyme, while the third and fourth follow another rhyme (a,a,b,b,a). There are 13 feet, or stressed syllables, to the limerick-no more, no less.
