Just a quickie. Please could i ask people not to use quotation marks around the quotes as this makes it very difficult to do a search.

Many thanks - so glad you are enjoying this game!!

A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.

"Philosophies such as Marxism-Leninism and Communism are entirely losing their attractiveness. With the gunshots in 1989, they have collapsed like soap bubbles. Being in this situation, the Chinese Communist Party is soliciting new concepts to unify the Chinese society. Nationalism or patriotism seems operable to fill the vacuum left by Marxism-Leninism and Mao's Communism."
