One World (book)

One World is a travelogue written by Wendell Willkie, a liberal Republican, and originally published in 1943.

Content of the book

It is a document of his world travels and meetings with many of the Allies' heads of state as well as ordinary citizens and soldiers in locales such as El Alamein, Russia, and Iran. Willkie also discusses the need for some sort of world government.

Especially emphasized is the position of China in the world after World War II; involved in a civil war between Nationalists and Communists, Willkie prophesies that whichever power achieves victory will make China a force to be reckoned with. It is the duty of the United Nations (the Allies) to make sure that the power is friendly to American and other Allied interests but also that it is powerful enough to help the Chinese, the world's most populated nation.

Popularity

One World was highly popular in its time and sold millions of copies. It spent four months atop the New York Times bestseller list beginning in May 1943.

One World (John Martyn album)

One World is a 1977 album by John Martyn. One of his more experimental works, it features atmospheric, reggae influenced rhythms and free-flowing, jazzy arrangements. Acclaimed for its collaborative spirit, the album includes contributions from Lee Perry on "Big Muff", and Steve Winwood (keyboards). Contemporary reviews were positive, with the NME declaring the album "mean, moody and magnificent". The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die by Robert Dimery. When selecting Martyn as part of a "100 Great Voices" feature, Mojo chose the title track as an example of his talent.

The album is notable for parts of it having been recorded outdoors. In particular, "Small Hours" was recorded late at night in the English countryside. The sweeping soundscapes on the album are partly due to the consequential presence of ambient sounds (such as water from a nearby lake) and natural reverb. "Small Hours" was later reworked by Martyn into the track "Anna" as the haunting backdrop for Esben Storm's 1978 Australian film production of In Search of Anna. This version of "Anna" also appears on Martyn's live album Live At The Bottom Line, New York, 1983.

1635: The Tangled Web

1635: The Tangled Web is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by Virginia DeMarce.

Plot summary

The main setting takes place in Fulda in 1633 and follows in four interlinking stories which ties together near the end of the novel.

"Prince and Abbot"

The New United States decided to accept the return of Johann Bernhard Schenk von Schweinsberg as the Abbot of Fulda, but the Abbot will have to give up the title of prince. Moreover, he will not be allowed to collect tithes. The N.U.S. is now the secular authority in Fulda and will collect the taxes. The Abbot surprises Wes Jenkins - the administrator of Fulda - in his attempts to persuade the monks to abide by the new rules of his order. The local monks have been difficult over abiding by these rules. Even the import of Saint Gall monks hasn't won them over to the Tridentine doctrines. Dissatisfied Catholic conspirators in Bonn decide to unsettle affairs in Fulda, in which they initially arrange to post scurrilous flyers all over the town and then hiring Irish mercenaries led by Walter Leslie into abducting the Abbot and several N.U.S. administrators.

The Tangled Web

"The Tangled Web" is the sixteenth and final episode of the BBC comedy series Yes, Prime Minister and was first broadcast 28 January 1988.

Plot

Sir Humphrey Appleby criticises Bernard over an answer given by Jim Hacker during Prime Minister's Questions. It seems that the PM denied authorising the bugging of an MP's telephone, and the question was not referred beforehand to Sir Humphrey, who is in charge of security matters.

The pair go to see the Prime Minister in the Cabinet Room, where he is cock-a-hoop over his recent performance in the House of Commons. He insists that the two civil servants hear a verbatim report of PMQs and Sir Humphrey finds it difficult to interrupt. However, he eventually brings Hacker down to earth with typical verbiage, which he translates. The PM has lied to Parliament — the ultimate political sin. The MP, whose name is Hugh Halifax, was indeed the subject of government surveillance up until a few minutes ago, and Hacker wishes to know why he wasn't informed. Sir Humphrey tells him that there are some things that he doesn't need to know. When Hacker protests that he has a right to be aware of everything, the Cabinet Secretary explains that nobody willingly conceals anything from him; however, decisions are occasionally taken not to reveal information, which apparently makes all the difference.
