Meanwhile, the future of Margrethe was being considered. The Danish Cabinet has asked Parliament to vote on a constitutional amendment to the rule that succession to the throne goes to male heirs only.

Tidelands is as fighting a word in Texas as Alamo was more than a century ago. Texans feel that the U.S. Government is rustling them out of their birthright.

The British had 1) all but pushed the Egyptians out of the million square miles of Sudan, despite the continuing fiction of a condominium and 2) firmly promised the 8,000,000 Sudanese the right of self-determination. The Egyptians had 1) named King Farouk Sovereign of the Sudan and 2) let it be known that they considered the pro-Independence party in Sudan (the Umma) a collection of dogs and British lickspittles. For the Sudanese, Umma Leader Sayed Abdul Rahman el Mahdi,* the richest man in the Sudan, had threatened a holy war if the Egyptians tried...
