The concept of citizenship was, at its inception in Roman times, directly linked with that of the republic, the res publica, literally the "public thing", in which all citizens had a stake and which derived its authority from them.
In contrast to this bottom-up transfer of authority in a republic, authority in a monarchy vests the monarch and, while some of it may flow down to other institutions, it is ultimately traceable back to the monarch.

 Re: P Moore's "Green Bans..." editorial in the Canberra Times
Patrick Moore wrote (see www.greenspirit.com for the text): "First, it is important to note that fully 50% of all wood used in the world is burned to supply energy for cooking and heating, mostly in developing countries where people cannot afford fossil fuels.
The third world alternatives, in turn would be to place even more pressure on local wood supplies, many of which are in the tropics and subtropics, not just for for cheap building materials but also for the sustained supply of fuelwood.
It is worth noting that the level of fuel wood consumption - the other 50% - would be higher for a longer time if insufficient global wood supply were to prove detrimental to the standard of living in developing countries.

Ben Jeyaretnam was 45 and a successful lawyer and former judge in Singapore when he was invited, in 1971, to enter politics as the head of the Workers' Party.

Lydgate, an American journalist who spent two years in Singapore, makes it clear that, while Jeyaretnam was his own worst enemy, he was the victim of a campaign by Lee Kuan Yew to crush opposition.

Inelda's Moisturiser, as it is called, is made according to a recipe passed to Inelda by her grandmother many years ago, and it is only since August this year that Mrs Lovi has been producing it for limited sale in selected outlets.
Mrs Lovi spent some time talking with a pharmacist friend about how to take the cream from a relatively unattractive concoction of plants and oils to a point where it would appeal to consumers, and then set about doing it.
Mrs Lovi does not think what she has done is particularly special, and she says it was more of a ploy to motivate her fellow students than a plan to corner the moisturiser market.

As The Nation put it in Nairobi: ’’One of the elements of the settlement is that the south has the right to secede after six years.
This is the first time in Africa that a peace settlement has recognised the right to secession.’’ That’s not strictly true, since the almost equally long war in Ethiopia ended in the early ’90s with independence for Eritrea.
It would keep big inter-African wars at bay for at least a generation, and by that time surely economic growth and education would have eroded the old ethnic divisions.

One reason I particularly interested was that this was a story originally broken by Emma MacDonald in The Canberra Times – a fact that Gerard Charles mentions in his first sentence.
Alas, neither The Canberra Times nor MacDonald rates a subsequent mention as Charles turns immediately to parsing every sentence written or spoken afterwards by the Australian and the Sydney Daily Telegraph, as well as to television commentary [sic] by Laurie Oakes.
His first attack of candour was when, via MacDonald, it became obvious that it was not unimportant because if there are two things that nurture a story, and inspire a public and media feeding frenzy, they tend to be suggestions of hypocrisy and of a cover-up.
