@MitchellBelfer @univerzitaMUP The govt has prohibited all gatherings of 100+ people. As I understand it, students are not allowed to go to unis until further notice. I'm off to buy a load of grain.

@MitchellBelfer And now the Czech Republic closes schools and universities from tomorrow!

Does anyone know of a Gamal Abdul #Nasser expert out there? I've a question or two re: the struggle over public opinion in the #MiddleEast. #twitterstorians

@MitchellBelfer @ForeignAffairs A Eurocentric concept - but has a better alternative been put forward?

[Gerald Power @GeraldPower9]

Fascinating and balanced. From the local to international, sporting to political.

Published in May 2019, the day before they wrapped up the first ever clean sweep of all three English competitions in the same year (Premier League/FA Cup/League Cup), this is as good a summary of Manchester City's recent history as any. https://t.co/mwlihSJrFT

1970s culture wars, #Kuwait-style. Wonderful cartoon from the Kuwait Times (1972) on shifting government policy towards flared trousers and long-hair for men.

In 1975 the Herald Tribune reported that Sultan #Qaboos of #Oman had 'no weaknesses more unseemly than a passion for phonographic records' (but the paper did worry about the economic future of the country). Thanks: Arabian Gulf Digital Archive https://t.co/IMHvbqdJtC:.

Revolutions very hard to predict but maybe USSR '89-91 has something to tell us about Iran today.

American Anglophilia continues ...

Among the postindustrial-chic buildings and stylish restaurants and shops of Kings Cross in London sits Victorian splendor, verdant hide-outs and the long-ago haunts of writers and musicians. https://t.co/uZJghMpnva

Boris is the first unmarried PM since Ted Heath - but in highly different circumstances. There could be some interesting points about changes in social attitudes and political culture to be made about all this.

Fascinating documents on Sultan Qaboos of #Oman on the Arabian Gulf Digital Archive. In 1955, UK representatives were trying to arrange for a companion to be 'a really good friend of the ruler-to-be. The boy like his father lives a lonely life and has a shy and retiring nature.'
