May Ashur, father of the gods, look steadfastly with the radiance of his holy features upon this palace. may its rnewal always be ordered, until distant days. Let it be established from his holy utteance that protective spirit and safeguarding god be on the watch day and night within it and never leave its sides. At his command may (these words)fall, "May he who made a frow old, far into the future." May he who dwells therein rejoice within, in good health, happiness, and blithe spirits. May he enjoy well-being in full measure. =========================================================================== T H I S W E E K I N H I S T O R Y =========================================================================== April 10, 1968: The Assyrian Universal Alliance, the first world-wide Assyrian political organization, is founded in Pau, France. =========================================================================== B R A V O =========================================================================== A NEW ASSYRIAN-RUSSIAN MAGAZINE PUBLISHED ATRA, a new Assyrian Magazine, entirely published in Russian, is currently in circulation.
