[Centre for Romanian Studies] Vera ATKINS - a Romanian MATA HARI in the services of the SOE: In spite of this comfortable “colonial” life style Hilda’s mother did not settle well in Romania as she was constantly pining for her more sophisticated life in London and for the climate and scenery of South Africa.   According to Vera’s hagiographer Sarah Helm, Vera, like her mother, appeared to have regretted her father’s choice of coming to Romania, in spite of the family’s financial gain which brought it considerable wealth. Romania secured for Rosenberg the foundation on which Vera enjoyed a favourable handicap in life which secured for her the best education open to daughters of Europe’s upper classes  to private schools in Switzerland, France and England and earlier on with foreign governesses in Romania.

Interviewers more often classified respondents as ethnic majorities when the latter claimed to be non-Roma ethnic minorities.

[TomDispatch - Blog] Tomgram: John Feffer, Will NATO's 60th Anniversary Be Its Last ...: On the eve of September 11th, a decade after the end of the Cold War, NATO had become an overstretched alliance with an ill-defined but expansive mission and a collection of member states increasingly at odds with each other. When the United States prepared to attack Afghanistan and then Iraq, the Bush administration simply bypassed NATO, constructing its own ad hoc coalitions "of the willing." (Only in 2003 did the Bush administration turn to NATO to shoulder some of the local burden.) There could have been no greater vote of no-confidence in the institution.

Living in the United States, I have not needed my passport to travel the great many states whose individual land masses represent countries of their own: my vision is still to visit all 50 states and I'm getting there.

[War and Game] PARTISAN WARFARE « War and Game: In southern Europe and overseas the term guerrilla is preferably applied, derived from ”˜”˜small war’’ in the Spanish language. Some historians distinguish between partisans as a more organized form of armed resistance with clear political goals, and guerrillas as predominantly individual fighters in small groups.

[openDemocracy] Europe and its cannibals | openDemocracy: As we see from Richard the Lionheart and others, 'the idea of cannibalism” emerged alongside Christian Europe's early martial encounters with Islam, where Europeans reveled in their reputation as brutish flesheaters. Avramescu's scope does not extend deeply into the Crusades: after noting briefly the legend of King Tafur, whose rowdy band of primitive savages were Christian allies and preferred the taste of human flesh, and Richard the Lionheart's taste for Saracen meat, Avramescu gives scant attention to the Middle Ages, focusing instead on the discovery of the New World as "the crucial event that generated the...mass of geographic literature treating cannibalism.'' The ''discovery'' sparked, in subsequent centuries, an ongoing evolution of the cannibal-as-philosophical character.

[Film: Film blog | guardian.co.uk] Why are we still so deferential to French film-makers? | Danny ...: Of course every year there are a few very good British films (often not the ones that get all the attention), but there is a sort of randomness about it all - as opposed to France where there is a general high quality of film produced from a variety of film makers, and not just the big names - I've seen some wonderful low key low budget French films which would no doubt be hyped to the skies if they'd been British, but they were overshadowed even in France by the big name directors. They are also not afraid to be intellectual and difficult - there seems to be a real fear among British film makers of wanting to appear pretentious.

[Rugby World Cup] BBC SPORT | Rugby World Cup Blog: Unlike many, I have been at both of the matches in Bordeaux - and yes,they were painful, at times most of the Irish fans there felt like running on to the pitch and geeing them up - but, at the end of the day we did win, and whatever all of us armchair specialists might say about Georgia, it is about time we gave them credit for one of the most fantastic, gutsy performances in sporting history, which was as much down to the sheer effort they put into the match as any failings in the Irish performance, we are two matches in, and one point less well off than we had hoped for. And the fact is, we always did need to win the match against France and the match against Argentina, if we were to make a success of this World Cup, and that is exactly were we are now.

[The American Frank] Fuzzy Logic & The Avian Flu « The American Frank: Consider this: In August 2005, the British magazine Lancet came out with a report on Relenza and Tamiflu saying that ”˜Relenza is at least as effective as Tamiflu but has fewer side effects and there is no evidence of resistance to Relenza, compared with resistance levels of up to 18% in those taking Tamiflu. The researchers recommend stockpiling both.’ Along with this, US President George W Bush launches a $7.
