	City
		City is a relatively permanent and highly organized centre of population, of greater size or importance than a town or village.
		To be sure, many new cities were planted between the Nile and the Indus through which the amenities and forms of city-culture were carried back to the east, but the city itself ceased to be an autonomous body politic and became a dependent member of a larger political-ideological whole.
		A city government was legally authorized to deal with all matters of local interest, but the extent to which it did so depended on the attitude of the council and its mayor, the resources at its disposal, and the degree of control exercised by higher authority.

	Inside Sweden's Manor Houses \| Departures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		As late as the 17th and 18th centuries, Sweden was a very poor country whose noble families were often hard-pressed to maintain even the barest semblance of elegance.
		Yet these families also wanted to enhance their status, and as they enlarged and improved their arable acreage, as revenues expanded and their tastes grew more refined, they began to remodel and embellish their houses.
		The Swedish year is manic-depressive, with long hours of dispiriting darkness in winter and equally long hours of soft brilliance in summer; in both seasons, the sun often seems to dawdle motionlessly on the horizon, casting slanting shafts of tremulous, watery light.
