Economic History | Croatia | Assets had become dispersed over various ministries, funds and other state entities, and Vojkovic took the lead in consolidating all assets in the CPF.

Political Economy | Zimbabwe | Despite the campaign of terror, the MDC won 57 of 120 contested seats in Parliament in the June 2000 elections, denying ZANU-PF the two-thirds majority necessary to amend the constitution and subsequently subjecting the Government to scrutiny to which it was unaccustomed.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | HALO, n. Properly, a luminous ring encircling an astronomical body, but not infrequently confounded with "aureola," or "nimbus," a somewhat similar phenomenon worn as a head-dress by divinities and saints. The halo is a purely optical illusion, produced by moisture in the air, in the manner of a rainbow; but the aureola is conferred as a sign of superior sanctity, in the same way as a bishop's mitre, or the Pope's tiara. In the painting of the Nativity, by Szedgkin, a pious artist of Pesth, not only do the Virgin and the Child wear the nimbus, but an ass nibbling hay from the sacred manger is similarly decorated and, to his lasting honor be it said, appears to bear his unaccustomed dignity with a truly saintly grace. |
