…the ancient. The Albanian ruler of Egypt, Muhammad Ali, and Tipu Sultan of southern India, great nemesis of British ambitions in South Asia. One of the few countries to escape Western colonization was Japan.

According to the 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project, 97 percent of Ethiopians think homosexuality should be outlawed.

…to the sudden decision by the captain—after rounding the southern coast of Africa—to return to South America for further longitudinal readings before heading home.
