Nixon confirmed that the Chinese Communists at first demanded that throughout the communique Taiwan be referred to as "a province of China." He said he had demurred, insisting that the U.S. side could refer to Taiwan only as "a part of China." Nixon's reasoning was that being dubbed "a province of China" would place Taiwan immediately in a subordinate position vis-a-vis the People's Republic of China; whereas being labeled "a part of China" would give Taiwan, despite its smaller size, a higher status vis-a-vis the mainland. I could tell by listening to Nixon that he was very pleased with himself on this matter.

At one and the same time, the same person might well be in favour of discursive anonymity in the case of a text like the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion while declaring a social right and need to identify the author of a text such as The Garden of Fascism. Indeed, the higher ethical demand in the case of persecuted authors is not for a rearguard policy of anonymity but to ensure that an individual may write onymously without threat of reprisal: pseudonymity and dissimulation being within the grasp of most authors, the freedom to identify oneself as the author of a particular discourse is commonly assumed as a right of citizenship. To recommend anonymity per se is complicit with or at least acquiescent before the very totalitarian forces that provoke such a consideration in the first place.

PIE word
 *h₁óh₃s
Learned borrowing from Latin ōre rotundō (“with a round mouth; hence, clear; loud”), from ōre (the ablative singular of ōs (“mouth”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁óh₃s (“mouth”)) + rotundō (“to make round”) (from rotundus (“circular, round”) (possibly from rota (“wheel”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *Hreth₂- (“to run”)) + -undus (suffix forming adjectives)) + -ō (suffix forming first-conjugation verbs)). Doublet of orotund.

lbor

Only when we hear the English language spoken ore rotundo — and it is an exceedingly rare experience, and fated to be ever rarer as our life grows more rapid — by some master of the art of elocution and that is a fine art truly — can one be sensible of the richness and sweetness of its tones, the gravity and majesty with which it can invest noble and solemn themes, or its graceful themes, or its graceful unbending in the Lydian mode.

1901, Joseph Fitzgerald, Word and Phrase, A.C. McClurg & Company, page 371:

Did I not dispute a whole afternoon with another young man about the necessity for character, only to learn at the end of it that he didn't know what character was. He supposed it was 'something narrow and priggish—like what deacons used to be'. And he, mind you, was in his twenties, and claimed, ore rotundo, to be a Whitmanite, a Shavian, and a socialist.

1911 February, Cornelia A. P. Comer, “A Letter to the Rising Generation”, in The Atlantic:

The politenesses of Conrad to James and of James to Conrad were of the most impressive kind. Even if they had been addressing each other from the tribune of the Académie Française their phrases could not have been more elaborate or delivered more ore rotundo.

1931, Ford Madox Ford, Return to Yesterday: Reminiscences of James, Conrad, & Crane:
