Obviously not Katanga's Africans, who are 98% of the population, and want no new white masters. A likelier bet would be that the big Rhodesian and British mining interests, which own substantial shares in Katanga's rich Union Miniere du Haut-Katanga mining group, and perhaps Belgian industrialists themselves, were behind it all. Welensky talks of fearing a blood bath and "rampant tribalism" on his northern frontier, would welcome a buffer state against African nationalism...
Skin cancer from exposure of the face, neck and hands to sun and wind was first described by Germany's Paul G. Unna in 1894 as Seemanns-haut. A dozen years later, William Dubreuilh made an observational refinement in the Bordeaux vineyards : women got skin cancer on the parts of their faces left exposed by their scarves, while men got it on the back of the neck.

Delayed Degree. When Sigmund was four, the family moved to Vienna. A bookworm, he graduated from high school summa cum laude at 17. It was then the fashion in polite strata of most European society to lock sex in a darkened bedroom and pretend that otherwise (except for haut-monde libertines and the licentious "lower classes") it did not exist. For whatever inner need, the adolescent Freud accepted this viewpoint, once even warned his sister Anna off Balzac and Dumas...
