Albert Bartridge's comment about the ramifcations of the Romanovs' deaths was that had the revolution not taken place in 1917, Russia would have been an ally of the United States in the first half of the 20th century and the Cold War would not have taken place after World War II. He based this on the belief that Nicholas II was moving toward a constitutional monarchy (as in Britain), because Nicholas had issued a statement of rights of the people in 1905, though many reactionaries saw this as weakness against the liberals and worked against it. It was a fact that Russia was making greater strides toward industrialization than most Western European nations, though it started further back than many nations in Western Europe).

This has been a busy week for the Grim Reaper, slashing out at friend and foe, winning each battle fought against clay-footed humans who earned obituaries on the front page inspired by love or hate or both. Words often have a life of their own, particularly in matters of life and death. Cosmic coincidences in man's fate bring to our attention very different men merely because they died within days of each other. There's good reason why obituaries make good reading. They reveal insights into the human condition, forcing wonder at differences. So it is with the deaths this week of Kim Jong-il, Vaclav Havel and Christopher Hitchens - North Korean despot, Czech patriot, eloquent contrarian.

Britain's overseas territory and Caicos, an upscale Caribbean paradise a mere two-hour flight off the shores of Miami, has been featured in the news lately because of its former leader Michael Misick's allegedly corrupt government. In fact, the press has so maligned the former leader that one would think that a homegrown Idi Amin was living just off America's shores. But, more critically, the British government has attempted to use the corruption case in Turks and Caicos as justification for suspending the islands' constitution, disbanding its parliament and suspending the right to jury trial on the islands. If you speak to the people of Turks and Caicos today, they will bluntly tell you that their small island nation has been paralyzed and business has come to an unbelievable halt. The...

Fifty-five years ago a coup d'état ended Prime Minister Muhammad Mosaddeq's government in Iran on August 19, 1953. Numerous books and articles have analyzed the event but often have overlooked Iran's domestic dynamics. What is presented is nearly always a conspiracy theory that suggests American and British masters of intrigue subverted Iran entirely through their shady operators. The picture portrays Iranians as little more than inanimate objects - a nation of potted plants. Even now over half a century later, and three decades after the fall of Iran's monarchy, misperceptions persist. A review of the coup and what precipitated it may offer some needed clarity.

THIMPHU, Bhutan - The command came from the king, as commands normally do in a nation where royalty has ruled for a century. But when the Precious Ruler of the Dragon People spoke that day, he stunned this deeply isolated corner of the Himalayas: The age of monarchs is ending, he said, and power should be yours. That was a little over two years ago. Now, on the eve of national elections Monday that will upend a system rooted in feudal monarchism, much of the country remains unconvinced there should even be a vote.

The new Russian Provisional Government restored much of Finland's autonomy, but at the same time aimed to keep Finland in the Russian Empire pending the outcome of a constitutional convention. According to Lenin's doctrine of "unity through separation," emancipation of Russia's national minorities would advance the revolution by changing the workers' focus from the national struggle to the class struggle against their own capitalist oppressors. The demise of the monarchist cause foreshadowed the thin line between foreign policy and domestic politics that would guide Finland's future as an independent country.
