You see these cycles in a life, and then you see them in nations,..You see when you think of what I have seen go - first the good old British empire which disappeared when it was supposed to last for ever; Hitler was ranting and raving about a thousand years' rule; Mussolini; the Soviet Union seemed indestructible; the white dominated societies of Southern Africa seemed everlasting... I would have found it impossible to believe that the one in southern Rhodesia could go just like that.
