 The Journal of John Wesley
JOHN WESLEY, born as he was in 1703 and dying as he did in 1791, covers as nearly as mortal man may, the whole of the eighteenth century, of which he was one of the most typical and certainly the most strenuous figures.
John Wesley's great-grandfather and grandfather were both ejected from their livings in 1662, and the grandfather was so bullied and oppressed by the Five Mile act that he early gave up the ghost.
Wesley was occasionally hustled, and once or twice pelted with mud and stones, but at no time were his sufferings at the hands of the mob to be compared with the indignities it was long the fashion to heap upon the heads of parliamentary candidates.

Rice was an eight-year-old in Birmingham in 1963, when it was the main civil-rights battlefield, and she knew two of the four girls who were killed in the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, in the late summer of that year.
Rice's view of herself is as a fl patrician, whose family on both sides was unusually well educated, accomplished, and determined; she is partly descended from white plantation owners (again, on both sides), which is a complicated matter, but nothing to be ashamed of or angry about.
Rice, in any case, has never been one to depart from the policy course set by her superiors, and supporting Gorbachev was consistent with her over-all view of international relations, in which statecraft between great powers—skillful and unsentimental, in pursuit of national interest rather than moralism or reform—is the essence of diplomacy.

Condoleezza Rice was born on November 14, 1954, in Birmingham, Alabama, the only child of Angelena Rice and the Reverend John Wesley Rice, Jr., a minister at Westminster Presbyterian Church.
It seems that Rice was not concerned about bolstering Sharon, who had just encountered a massive non-violent demonstration of at least 200,000 people who strongly disagreed with his policies vis a vis the PLO enemy, and his intentions to reward such terrorists with Biblical covenant land.
Rice, who claims an expertise in nothing less than the high-stakes world of global power, has failed spectacularly as the "expert" who was disastrously wrong in her area of expertise -- the US relationship with Mikhail Gorbachev.
