Civil War Roundtables (also referred to as Round Tables or CWRTs) are independent organizations that share a common objective in promoting and expanding interest in the study of the military, political and sociological history of the American Civil War.
 The oldest such group in the United States is The Civil War Round Table of Chicago, which was founded in 1941 and is based in Chicago, Illinois.
 The second and perhaps third oldest are the Civil War Round Table of Milwaukee (founded in 1947) and the Civil War Round Table of the District of Columbia (founded in 1951).
 There are hundreds of such organizations throughout the U.S., with some in other countries as well.

Round table refers to the Central Round Table ("Zentraler Runder Tisch") that convened in East Berlin on December 7, 1989, the day after Egon Krenz, the new head of the Socialist Unity Party (SED) government, resigned.
 This Round Table, modeled after the Polish Round Table convened in April 1989, was initiated by the group Democracy Now.
 It was set up as a forum in which members of East German government organizations (such as the so-called block parties, trade unions, the women’s league, etc.) came together with representatives of the new citizens’ movements (such as Democracy Now, Democratic Awakening, and New Forum) to discuss and advance reforms in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), advising the executive until new national elections could be held.
 There were 39 representatives at the Central Round Table, 33 with voting rights.
 Seventeen of them represented new oppositional groups and political parties, and 16 were from political parties and organizations that had been part of the official East German government.
 Three, representing women, consumers and environmentalists, had observer status.
 The final three members were the moderators, all clergymen, from the Protestant, Catholic and Methodist churches, who did not have the right to vote.
 At first most participants hoped to reform the East German government and thus retain the country’s independence, but as popular opinion moved towards rapid unification with West Germany, these hopes were dashed.

Casanova is a British television drama serial, written by television playwright Dennis Potter.
 Directed by Mark Cullingham and John Glenister, the serial was made by the BBC and screened on the BBC2 network in November and December 1971.
 It is loosely based on Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova's "Histoire de ma vie" ("Story of My Life"; 1780–92).
 It was Dennis Potter's first television serial, having previously written single plays for the BBC's "The Wednesday Play" and "Play for Today" series.

The Round Table is King Arthur's famed table in the Arthurian legend, around which he and his Knights congregate.
 As its name suggests, it has no head, implying that everyone who sits there has equal status.
 The table was first described in 1155 by Wace, who relied on previous depictions of Arthur's fabulous retinue.
 The symbolism of the Round Table developed over time; by the close of the 12th century it had come to represent the chivalric order associated with Arthur's court, the Knights of the Round Table.
The Woods Are Full of Cuckoos is a "Merrie Melodies" cartoon directed by Frank Tashlin, and released in December 1937.

 Author and critic Alexander Woollcott is parodied as "Owl Kott" in the cartoon, a parody that Tashlin would revisit in "Have You Got Any Castles?
" (1938).
