In ancient times the northernmost region of the habitable world - hence, any distant, unknown or mysterious land.
Now Cabanaboy graciously sent me the HTML tags to use in order to be able to display just the name of the publication rather than typing in the URL of a link. I am now about to roll up my sleeves and attempt this fantastic feat of cyber-legerdemain -- ahem ---

I am a naturalized Ukrainian-American, fortunate enough to have been admitted to this great land as an immigrant. My personal history is the spur for this blog. My parents lived through the Ukrainian Genocidal Famine of 1933, survived years of Communist persecution, fled to the West, endured forced labor in Nazi Germany, and following liberation, ended up in Allied internment camps fighting forced repatriation to the Soviet Union under the Yalta Agreement. Their courageous struggle to bring our family to freedom, first to Australia, then to America, and their example of unflinching faithfulness to truth and honor, have left an indelible impression on me. My parents did not save me from Communism and Nazism for me to go gently into dhimmitude or slavery. Hence my passion and my mission to expose threats to freedom and democracy wherever they are found. This blog is a testament to their courage and my small gift to their heroism. ***ADDENDUM*** Aussiegirl, my wife, Helen, passed away on January 13, 2007. I shall continue her blog to allow access to her archives.***David

Thanks for the hint -- I did type a less-than sign and an "A" and then a space before the "href", but for some reason that didn't display on the post -- and then after the American Thinker I typed a less than sign, a slash, an "a" and a greater-than sign -- which was the code given in the HTML site called learn HTML. It's also what Cabanaboy told me to write -- but I must still be doing something wrong. Personally, I think it's just one of those magnetic things - you know - like some people can't wear watches because they always break down - I think that's what it is with me and computer code. I think fondly of the old hammer and chisel days. Give me an old cuneiform tablet and a stylus any day -- at least you can smash the results with some satisfaction. I'll try again when my ears stop smoking in a few days.
