You ain’t seen nothing yet!” 459 “Some People Just Don’t Know When to Quitto . .” 483 Acknowledgments Setsuko Ono has stimulated me along my journey with her probing and frank comments, and she has inspired me with her intelligence, her courage, and her art. Her sculptures adorn Havana, Washington, Baltimore, Tokyo, and Shibu- kawa. The paintings that she exhibited at the 2009 Bienal of Havana—For Our Beautiful Earth: Resistance to Overwhelming Force and Dreams of Peace—express with exquisite sensitivity her longing for a more just world. They challenge me to be relentless in seeking the truth in my chosen field. For the past decade, I spent at least two months every year in Havana doing research for this book. Gloria León, one of Cuba’s most gifted intellectuals, has helped me understand her country and saved me from countless gaffes and faux pas. Jorge Risquet, a key protagonist of the events analyzed in this book, made it possible for me to gain access to the closed Cuban archives. He has become a close friend while remaining a harsh and very intelligent critic. I was fortunate to be able to count on Hedelberto López Blanch—Cuba’s foremost investigative journalist—and on the help of Rodrigo Álvarez Cambras, Juan Carrizo Estévez, Gisela Castellanos Castro, Nancy Jiménez Rodríguez, Antonio López López, Fernando Remírez de Estenoz, and Jorge Risquet Valdés Jiménez. Migdalia León is my Cuban doctor and a dear friend. My research in Pretoria, Windhoek, and Luanda was enriched by the help of six good friends: Claudia Uushona, Paulo Lara, Isabel Martín, Emiliano Man- resa, Pedro Ross, and Rosa Fonseca. Thenjiwe Mtintso, Aziz Pahad, and Ronnie Kasrils helped convince the National Archives of South Africa to declassify the documents of the State Security Council that were critical to my research. At the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, where I teach, Associate Dean John Harrington, a lover of history, is a good friend and has helped me in every possible way. I also owe a special debt to Senior Associ- ate Dean Myron Kunka and to Kelley Kornell, the best coordinator that the U.S. xi foreign policy department has ever had. Kelley holds our department together, and she has assisted me with intelligence, grace, and skill. I also benefited from the assistance of Brian Wingfield, Willy Shield, Thomas Field, David Fowkes, Elizabeth Wente, and Raphaël Guévin-Nicoloff. Three brilliant research librar- ians—Linda Carlson, Kathy Picart, and Barbara Prophet—tracked down even the most outlandish publications. They performed miracles with good cheer. I greatly appreciated the intelligent criticism of Professors Lars Schoultz and Odd Arne Westad, who reviewed my manuscript for the University of North Carolina Press. My good friend Isaac Cohen offered, as always, incisive and wise comments, as did Professor Jim Hershberg. I thank Anna-Mart van Wyk for her insights on South Africa. Bringing this manuscript to press was greatly eased by the professionalism of Chuck Grench, Ron Maner, and Sara Cohen at the University of North Carolina Press. For more than three decades Doctor David Berler has safeguarded my eyesight—a challenging task—and Doctor Marwa Adi has now joined the effort. I am deeply grateful to them. My research took me to archives in the United States, Cuba, Europe, and Africa. I thank all the archivists, but I feel a particular debt to Teresita Muñoz at the military archives in Havana and to Neels Muller at the Foreign Ministry Archives in Pretoria. And, above all, to my dear friend Ivys Silva Jomarrón, at the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party. Her wisdom and ef- ficiency were invaluable. Maja Murisic searched the Yugoslav archives for me and translated the docu- ments she gathered. Jan Krzewinski did the same in the Polish archives. All other translations are mine. Four protagonists read the manuscript: Jeff Davidow, the director of the Of- fice of Southern African Affairs of the U.S. State Department in 1984–86; Eeben Barlow, a senior officer in the South African Defence Force in the 1980s; Jorge Risquet, Castro’s point man for Angola in the period covered in this book; and General Paulo Lara, a senior officer in the Angolan army in the 1980s. All were forceful critics of my manuscript. To them, and to all who agreed to be inter- viewed for this book, I give my sincere thanks. And I also thank the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the American Philosophical Society, and SAIS for their financial assistance. Nancy Mitchell is much more than the foremost expert on Carter’s foreign policy. Her forthcoming book, Race and the Cold War: Jimmy Carter in Africa, illuminates U.S. foreign policy with unsurpassed intelligence. She generously set it aside time and again to read my manuscript, and I greatly benefited from her literary skill and her penetrating criticism.

  • Federalist Outlook Through Some Combination of Tax Increases, Spend- to Federally Funded, State-Administered Programs
    No. 17 May 2003 Washington and the States: Segregation Now By Michael S. Greve The states are broke. The economic recession and the attendant collapse of state revenues, the continuing costs of state programs created during the boom years, and the spiraling costs of federal mandates will force most states to enact massive tax increases and budget cuts. Predictably, the states are demanding more money from Washington, D.C. That, however, is the wrong prescription. The correct approach is to segregate state from federal functions. This Outlook provides principles and practical reform proposals for the most critical programs—Medicaid and education.

MAKAMURE AND R .LOEWENSON WAR AS A CONTINUATION OF POLITICS BY OTHER MEANS "War is the highest form of struggle for resolving contradictions, when they have developed to a certain stage, between classes, nations , states, or political groups, and it has existed ever since the emergence of private property and of classes ."(1) This great classic statement sums up the historical and dialectical materialist, conception of war and armed struggle held and developed by the great proletarian leaders and theoreticians of the world communist movement namely: Marx, Engels and Lenin. This underslanding of war as a phenomenon was also similarly understood by the early 19th Century German military scholar, Karl von ^Clausewitz who in his book, "On War" , defined war as, "an act of violence intended to compel our opponent to fulfill our will." Clausewitz further classified war as " belonging to the province of social life. It is a conflict of great interests which is settled by bloodshed, and only in that is it different from others." In addition, Clausewitz also viewed political aims as the end and war as the means and in stressing this dialectical link he wrote: t "War is nothing else than the continuation of state policy by different means." On this he elaborated thus: "War is not only a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political transactions, an accomplishment of these by different means.

Naturally, this includes time spent at airports, on the journeys, with host families, during free time as well as during games. People will judge the school and England more generally, on our appearance, demeanour and attitude. We expect pupils to be smartly turned out at all times, to be proud to be on tour with the School and to be keen to make a favourable impression. Normal School rules will apply. That is to say that we expect no foul language; alcohol, smoking, drugs and pornography remain banned as they are in School and pupils should remember that they are on a School trip with their teachers. It is important that pupils and parents understand that any serious transgression of these expectations and rules will result in disciplinary consequences. We hope very much that it will not be necessary to discipline tourists, either on the trip or when the party returns to School. Very serious misbehaviour could result in a pupil being sent back at parental expense. It goes without saying that nobody on the trip wants to exercise this right.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Since the transition from apartheid, there has been much discussion of the possibilities for the emergence of a truly ‘national’ literature in South Africa. This thesis joins the debate by arguing that Black Consciousness, a movement that began in the late 1960s, provided the intellectual framework both for understanding how a national culture would develop and for recognising it when it emerged. Black Consciousness posited a South Africa where formerly competing cultures sat comfortably together. This thesis explores whether such cultural equality has been achieved. Does contemporary literature harmoniously deploy different cultural idioms simultaneously? By analysing Black writing, mainly poetry, from the 1970s through to the present, the study traces the stages of development preceding the emergence of a possible ‘national’ literature and argues that the dominant art versus politics binary needs to be reconsidered.

  • Aloe in Angola (Asphodelaceae: Alooideae)
    Bothalia 39,1: 19–35 (2009) Aloe in Angola (Asphodelaceae: Alooideae) R.R. KLOPPER*, S. MATOS**, E. FIGUEIREDO*** and G.F. SMITH*+ Keywords: Aloe L., Angola, Asphodelaceae, fl ora ABSTRACT Botanical exploration of Angola was virtually impossible during the almost three-decade-long civil war. With more areas becoming accessible, there is, however, a revived interest in the fl ora of this country. A total of 27 members of the genus Aloe L. have been recorded for Angola. It is not unlikely that new taxa will be discovered, and that the distribution ranges of oth- ers will be expanded now that botanical exploration in Angola has resumed. This manuscript provides a complete taxonomic treatment of the known Aloe taxa in Angola. It includes, amongst other information, identifi cation keys, descriptions and distribution maps. INTRODUCTION The country has two distinct seasons: the rainy season from October to May, with average coastal temperatures The Republic of Angola covers an area of ± of around 21ºC and the dryer season with lower average 1 246 700 km² in southwest-central Africa. Its west- coastal temperatures of around 16ºC and mist or Cacimbo ern boundary is 1 650 km along the Atlantic Ocean and from June to September. The heaviest rains occur in April it is bordered by Namibia in the south, the Democratic and are accompanied by violent storms.
