"She defeated one of the most powerful and influential people in the history of Honolulu politics to become the first female mayor of the City and County of Honolulu.

"The main conclusion that I drew from this examination was that Greek and non-Greek names were almost inextricably mixed in the lists of men recorded on the tablets, which suggested that at the time when the tablets were written, the Mycenaean newcomers had merged to such an extent with the local inhabitants that there were no social distinctions between the two groups."

"This paper's first aim is to investigate the theme of death and related to it death-penalty, in More's utopia. Secondly by the way of comparison it will simply explore these themes in some modern utopia novels. On the occasion of the 450th anniversary of More's death-penalty the subject almost imposes itself. Although utopia is generally concerned with this world, with the here and now even when it has an eye on the future, and is, thus, a kind of paradise on earth, while death is a matter of the hereafter, yet death and the death- penalty figure, in some form or other, in many a utopia piece of writing. The choice of representatives samples was no difficult matter. Five fairly well known novels have been selected. First Samuel Butler's Erewhon (1872) one of the two novels generally thought to have greatly contributed to the rise of utopia vague in the modern period (the other being Bulwer Lytton's The Coming Race). Then, Anthony Trollope's The Fixed Period (1882), William Morris's News From Nowhere (1892), Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), and finally George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1948). To forestall objections to my using the term utopia in reference to works which have come to be widely,and rightly perhaps, described as 'dystopias',let me point out that I am using it as a sort of generic term to cover both the positive pictures of an ideal world and the negative or satiric projections of the present or the future, no less than works of fantasy of the same genre. I rely for support on More himself, whose mixture of the ideal and the satiric in Utopia still baffles many a reader."

"I met many friends who had, in fact, returned to Uganda to re-establish their old businesses. These were early days in the transformation of Uganda. Bear in mind that the country was totally ruined before Museveni took over. Now you could see positive signs of the country being rehabilitated. Major projects for rebuilding roads, the national grid, the water system, in fact, the whole of the infrastructure were underway or in the final stages of planning. The health and education facilities were being revived and expanded. The goodwill of the western countries was clearly in evidence and this was complemented by the dynamism of the people and governmental institutions. The not so good developments in the country are the problems with neighboring countries such as Sudan and Congo. Uganda’s greatest strength at the moment is the goodwill it has around the world. The western powers view it as a model of reform in many ways. They certainly want Uganda to adopt a multi-party system."

"I did so when Obote abolished the universally agreed original constitution and brought on his own. It was virtually a mechanism to open the way for a one-party system. There was no doubt in my mind that it would lead to the end of democracy in Uganda. It goes without saying that it was a horribly frightening experience with potentially disastrous consequences, but I had to be true to my convictions"

"I have always had a desire to serve my country . . . I also feel that my social work has been responsible in my taking an interest in politics in view of the confidence I had developed amongst people of all races"
