Lastly, there are a few other aspects of the article that must be corrected. Jablin declares that the Nationalist Party is the only legal party in the Republic of China. There are actually three legalized political parties, the other two being the China Youth Party and the China Democratic Socialist Party. It is misleading to say that the Republic of China (the "Free Chinese state" referred to by Jablin) was established in Taiwan in 1949. The R.O.C. was actually founded in Nanking in 1911, when Taiwan was occupied by the Japanese. The island was restored to the R.O.C...
Mugabe's victory was the climax of 20 years of struggle in the nationalist movement. The son of a poor laborer, he was born in the village of Kutama, just west of Salisbury, and educated in Roman Catholic mission schools. After earning degrees from two South African universities, he began his career as a schoolteacher, but ultimately immersed himself in Rhodesian nationalist politics during the 1960s. He was repeatedly arrested for his political activities and spent, all told, more than a decade in jail; as a prisoner, he completed three more university degrees by correspondence...

He also promised not to harbor or arm South African nationalist guerrillas. Pretoria accepted the election results, but leaders of its apartheid government could not hide their misgivings over the inspiration that Mugabe's victory may give to South Africa's black nationalists...
...that to happen, Mugabe must win the confidence of the whites, whose capital and know-how will remain essential to Zimbabwe's economy for years to come. Yet as a nationalist leader with an avowed commitment to socialism, he must also begin to satisfy black demands for a greater share of the national wealth. In addition, he may soon face mounting pressures for radical change from impatient hard-liners within his own party, who are anxious to reap the immediate benefits of their newly won power...
Even by the peculiar standards of contemporary terrorism, M-19 stands out as a bizarre and incoherent group. It began in 1970 as a rightist movement supporting former Military Dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, who ruled Colombia from 1953 to 1957. The strongly nationalist organization gradually incorporated leftists; its current ranks, according to a U.S. intelligence report, include Castroite, Guevarist, Maoist and Trotskyite revolutionaries...
