.... within a cab ride of being in Johannesburg, South Africa", 1 when King said this he was only speaking half jokingly.

.... forward for blacks, there were many possible reasons for his drastic change in government. A journalist in Cape Town at the time wondered if De Klerk fully realised what he was doing. Perhaps De Klerk thoguht he could remain in power by sharing it with the ANC. There were also economic pressures; business men were meeting with the ANC and liking them.

.... The declaration contained a basic but integral principle which is important even today, and justified the independence movement for the newly formed United States of America. The preamble to the declaration established a small but vital principle that "whenever any form of government becomes destructive...it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it." This principle has continued to be significant to the United States because it gives every citizen the right to question the government and to actually do something about it.

.... better then that of the top of it, so the groups that have been beaten in battle usually would take refuge up at the top, or it would be a punishment. The rivers in the Balkan Peninsula are basically short so there only use is from local inhabitants.
