    This 2013 work was undertaken during employment at Leeds Metropolitan University. It can be accessed at http://www.playleftwing.org/freedom-through-football/ The social history of Republica Internationale FC; A 30 year struggle for Socialist Football. By Mick Totten (with help from Republica). Foreword; This article tells the tale of Republica Internationale FC, its’ thirty year history from formation as an alternative football club to its participation on an international stage of like-minded clubs. It covers the many social and political issues the club has had to confront, its successes and setbacks. The author is indebted to contributions made by many others and has tried to faithfully convey an accurate recollection of events. And, where controversy has arisen, the author has sincerely attempted to offer a fair and balanced view. Republica is very proud of its history and hope that others are inspired by it too.

COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW VOL. 94 NOVEMBER 1994 NO. 7 REVOLUTION AND JUDICIAL REVIEW: CHIEF JUSTICE HOLT'S OPINION IN C/TY OFLONDON V WOOD Philip A. Hamburger* In 1702, in an opinion touching upon parliamentary power, Chief Justice Sir John Holt discussed limitations on government in language that has long seemed more intriguing than clear. Undoubtedly, the Chief Justice was suggesting limitations on government-limitations that subsequently have become quite prominent, particularly in America. Yet even the best report of his opinion concerning these constraints has left historians in some doubt as to just what he was saying and why it was significant.' The case in which ChiefJustice Holt was so obscure about matters of such importance, City of London v. Wood,2 revived the old maxim that a person could not be judge in his own case.

They had their own sound, an eerie glamour surrounding a dark whimsicality, yet fans flocked to them throughout the '80s and '90s. Commercial or cult favorites, they're impressive as being one of the '80s' seminal bands who culled more than 30 critical singles. Compilations like 1986's Staring at the Sea: The Singles and 1997's Galore showcased the Cure's accessibility; therefore, having a solid greatest-hits collection might be a bit nonessential. Then again, releasing an album like this at the tip of the new millennium calls for a celebration, and that's what the Cure did.
