Within days of ministers being nominated under the complicated d'Hont system, the cross-border body was activated, devolutionary powers handed over to the Assembly and the appointment of an interlocutor to the decommissioning body was made by the Irish Republican Army. In order to get to this point, David Trimble had, again, to step outside the terms of both the agreement and the Mitchell review, in so doing, creating another hostage to fortune. Trimble's apologists insisted that he had no other option. Sinn Fein has some understanding for that viewpoint. However, in violation of the Mitchell Stuck in the middle with you: David Trimble's Ulster Unionists have finally jumped.

A. STRADLING I Representation In a recent feature-film set in the Spanish War, a young scouser, Dave Carr — a generic working-class hero who embodies the wish-fulfilment of so many leftist writers — arrives at the Aragon front with a batch of new POUM recruits. Moving in single file up a hillside towards their trenches, they disturb a couple taking advantage of the fleeting absence of war in order to make love under a tree. The male section of this partnership turns out to be the leader of Dave's platoon — Pat Coogan, ex-IRA, dedicated enemy of Fascism and British Imperialism, as reckless in the passions of love as in those excited by political commitment and the heat of battle.

While victors generally disagree, common wisdom holds that it is they who wri te the history. The Spanish Civil War, however, had no conclusive winner. While Francisco Franco ousted his opponents and clung to power for nearly four decades after the end of hostility, the international movement for which he stood was discredited within six years. Following their military defeat, Franco’s enemies moved into exile and became the heroes of anti -Fascism when it had become a universal value. While Franco controlled the archives and presses in Spain, his enemies could not be silenced. Though the military phase of the war ended in 1939, the fight for ‘hearts and minds’ continued for decades. Ironically, when the Caudillo finally died in 1975, the people of Spain tacitly agreed to a pacto de olviedo (pact of forgetfulness), ignoring the legacy of the war, and Franco, entirely.
