...most touching moment--in which he gently chides his son for allowing Mother Gibbs to chop the wood--a memorable vignette. Eileen Heckart, with her always expressive face, is a dotingly solicitous Mother Gibbs, and is carefully to speak of her husband's hobby as the Civil Waw. Lee Richardson and Geraldine Fitzgerald, as Mr. and Mrs. Webb, are all right but not outstanding...
Machel concluded his reading of the proclamation by shouting in Portuguese "A luta continual" (The struggle continues). That set off a wild shooting spree of celebration, reported TIME Correspondent Lee Griggs, with Frelimo soldiers and police firing Kalashnikov automatic rifles, machine guns and even a few grenade launchers.

For Jefferson, until much later, "my country" usually meant Virginia. The decisive resolution (introduced in the Continental Congress on June 7, 1776, by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, seconded by John Adams and adopted on July 2, 1776) that provided the occasion for the Declaration of Independence declared "That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States."
