	Worker-communist Party of Iran: Left Nationalism and Working Class Communism A Review of the Iranian Experience; by Mansoor Hekmat
		Here, the mythological 'national bourgeoisie' was hailed not as the antithesis of the feudal landlord (the chief ally of imperialism for Maoists), but of the 'comprador' bourgeoisie, seen as the indigenous personification of imperialist oppression and exploitation of the 'Iranian people'.
		The post-war Iranian Left, from the Tudeh Party of 1940s to the populists of the '70s must be studied against the background of two historical processes; first, the development of the so-called communist movement internationally, and second, the historical evolution of the Iranian bourgeois-nationalist opposition.
		However, it was Tudeh Party's reluctance to wholeheartedly support the nationalist government of Mossadiq and in particular to rise to its defence against the American sponsored coup of August 19, 1953, that marked the final break of Iranian nationalism from the Tudeh party.

	HOLOCAUST
		As his early years are chronicled and examined, Eichmann becomes the personification of the concepts of hate and prejudice.
		Two survivors of the Holocaust, accidentally reunited in a park in Montreal in 1948, take up their argument just where they left it nine years earlier: one of the men is a pious Hasid who runs a yeshiva for Jewish orphans, the other a secular writer who has long since lost his religious faith.
		The war deprived them of everything, including all the members of their families; yet, instead of deadening their appetite for life, the losses they suffered and the brutalities they witnessed have only reinforced the Orthodox Jew’s trust in God and the secular skeptic’s trust in himself.

	JP Sottile: The Fascist Era
		Fascism moves to create a nationalism that eliminates differences, uniting all sectors of the population under the rubric, the patronage, and personification of the state.

		Here, the mythological 'national bourgeoisie' was hailed not as the antithesis of the feudal landlord (the chief ally of imperialism for Maoists), but of the 'comprador' bourgeoisie, seen as the indigenous personification of imperialist oppression and exploitation of the 'Iranian people'.
		This quasi-socialist radical nationalism produced a variety of trends and organisations, from the Maoists and the urban guerrillas of the late sixties and early seventies to the 'political-organisational' [3] groups of 1978-1981 known as the Third Line.
		Its inherent nationalism and its militant rhetoric appealed to the new generation of activists frustrated by the failure of the traditional parties and the oppressive political regime.

		The Maoists soon found in the liberals the very personification of their beloved 'national bourgeoisie' and were eventually incorporated into the 'Coordinating Office of the President' -- a guise for an unofficial alliance of politicians and groups united around Banisadr to fend off the Islamic Republic Party.

	History of VANDE MATARAM
		The National Anthem of the Azad Hind Fauz led by Netaji Subhas was a soul-stirring adoration of the Motherland which inspired thousands of soldiers belonging to the Fauz to offer their lives at the altar of the Mother.
		The rest of it is omitted, the reason obviously being that the Muslims objected to the mention of the Indian Goddesses in the song though every goddess is the personification of some divine virtues and all this is explained in the song itself.
		When he came to know that the Government would not approve Vande Mataram as national anthem unless it got clearance from the British band experts, he went to Bombay and with the help of the British band Commander, C.R. Gordon, got a record of Vande Mataram rendered to British Band music.

		Olga Boznanska's Two Boys (1903) is an example of the celebration of the Polish national spirit, while Jan Matejko's Stanczyk, the King's Jester, (1862) presents the clown as a tragic personification of civic conscience, a representative of the Commonwealth and the causes of its fall.
		In the 19th century, in the face of more than 100 years of occupation by foreign powers and the concurrent loss of economic, cultural, and political independence, works by Polish masters frequently incorporated themes of political oppression as well as atavistic depiction's of the Polish national character.
		In addition to these and other well-known artists, an exceptional group of Polish masters, principally of the 19th century, will be represented, including Jan Matejko, Olga Boznanska, Józef Mehoffer, and Aleksander Gierymski.

	TIME.com -- Tony Karon: After the Palestinian Elections
		Throughout his campaign he left no doubt he was seeking the mantle of Yasser Arafat, who had been the symbolic personification of the Palestinian national movement.
		The idea that Hamas can be wished away or forcibly eliminated is simply a non-starter for Abbas; instead he plans to draw them into the political process and, on the basis of a consensus of national principles that he plans to negotiate with them in Cairo, to win their agreement for a cease-fire.
		Indeed, Abbas's campaign-trail comments on the on the fate of Palestinian gunmen and on the rights of Palestinian refugees sparked considerable alarm in U.S. media outlets that had tended to paint him as the antithesis of Arafat.

	[A-List] Europe: Prodi's "death-or-glory assault"
		When the French and the British propose to beef up the council at the expense of the commission, they are asserting the legitimacy of elected national politicians over politicians or officials based in the European Parliament or in the commission.
		Jacques Chirac, France's president, has suggested that Europe's national leaders should elect a politician to run the EU's Council of Ministers for a period of up to five years.
		Creating a more powerful council president, though presented as a matter of efficiency, would also ensure that the European Commission's president is no longer seen as the Union's personification.

	Shipping Companies' House Flags (Sweden), O-S
		"Svea" is a name for the personification of Sweden (Moder Svea, "Mother Svea", a blond, middle aged woman, usually in a blue dress with gold crowns on it (like the crowns on the shield of the state arms) and a similar crown on the head).
		It could be that they don't want to have a direct connection to the national flag of Sweden, but have a Swedish connection anyway.
		I think it's more likely to be a national flag, only misrepresented in the book.

	Guardian Unlimited Special reports Obituary: Tony Randall
		It was a reminder of the days when the actor was the personification of suburban America's comic neurosis, as portrayed in glossy features and as the fusspot Felix Ungar in the US television series, The Odd Couple (1970-1975), for which he won an Emmy.

	The Head Heeb: Lebanese politics for beginners, part 2
		One Lebanese feudal family I'd appreciate your comments on would be the Alawites especially given their dominant role in Syria and their personification in the interim leader of Iraq.
		Every crisis period in Lebanese history - the Ottoman era, the French Mandate, the National Pact period and the civil war - has given birth to political parties, and the formation of each corresponds to the political awakening of their constituent groups.
		The first thing to remember about Lebanese political parties, as mentioned in Part 1 of this series, is that they aren't the dominant force in national politics.
