The African continent must have been a golden treasure to the colonialists. Africa had all the natural resources the colonialists needed--gold, iron ore, bauzite, diamonds, oil and many others; Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Portugal all needed a place in the sun, hence the partition of Africa. They created the worst frontiers or boundaries in Africa. Alien governments were established. The French sought to make the African and Frenchman by establishing...

Meyers, a 6 ft. 2 in. engineer noted...
...yardage than anyone else. Broadway Joe Namath was the milltown boy going wild in the big city, but he also had the best arm in professional football. If Schwarzenegger had any of their athletic achievements for his career's foundation, be would outdistance them all. Mark Spitz had the gold medals but was too abrasive, Bruce Jenner has the athletic credibility but little else. Schwarzenegger, the undisputed world champion in his field, is considered a freak, or at best, a novelty...
