| Title: Parliamentary Politics? |
| The Máiría Cahill case was debated in the Dail. The debate took the form of a denunciation of Sinn Fein, by Fine Gael, Labour and Fianna Fail, as a sinister terrorist organisation. In the Radio Eireann discussion of the debate that evening the representative of the (formerly Fascist) Fine Gael party referred to Gerry Adams as Il Duce. A couple of days later the Labour Party leader and Tanaiste, who had been vituperative against Sinn Fein in the debate, was terrorised in Tallaght, a working class area of Dublin, when she ventured into it on an engagement.

| Title: Albert Reynolds |
| Albert Reynolds was a doer and implementer, who as Taoiseach saw through to near completion the Haughey revolution in Northern policy, EU re-alignment and economic re-development, issues seen by their creator as a single, inseparable whole.

| Title: The Ottoman Empire Dismembered |
| Golda Meir, Prime Minister of Israel, said that there were no Palestinian people. The trace of a semblance of truth in that statement is that the people living in Palestine did not wish to be cut off from the people living in Lebanon and Syria in order to live their own lives as a separatist nation.
