In fact, Abrasimov stressed that Moscow regards West Germany's attitude toward East Germany as the acid test for any future dialogue between the Soviet Union and Bonn. Intimating that Bonn's three Western allies lack both effective means...

Should we use as typical the Republic of Haiti, where black men have ruled a sovereign state since the early nineteenth century, but where also such Black Rule or, if you prefer, Black Power, has been oppressive and dysfunctional for the black masses or lower classes? Or should we take the present-day state of Nigeria, where the polity is rent asunder by fratricidal warfare that was sparked by a grotesque genocidal act committed by one against another...
