MC1L2A1,E: My father was from Downingtown, PA. That>s where 1 became a lifelong fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, a cross 1 continue to bear not always in good humor. My father parlayed his Republican connections into a job with Henry Cabot Lodge, the New England chairman of the Eisenhower3,iAon campaign in >52. Out of that he got a political appointment to the State Department, public affairs, and came down and was in Public Affairs in the Department right at the time of the McCarthy stuff and spent an awful lot of time eAplaining to the Senate why the third iolinist in that orchestra the Department sent o erseas was a card carrying member of the Communist Party. ": Focusing on you now, up to the time you were 10, you were a (id in Pennsylvania. MC1L2A1,E: Ges, and then we mo ed here. ": You had 3 or 4 years of schooling up there. How did you find that. 4 MC1L2A1,E: That was fine. 1 started out in local Euaker schools and then in the public schools, which in central Pennsyl ania at that time were integrated and that was all fine and understood. Then 1 came to Washington and the first segregated schools 1>d e er seen and they were awful. SiAth grade in a Washington public school was a real eye opener. 1t was all white and it was terrible. ": At one point, the schools in- MC1L2A1,E: E en 1 knew it was lousy as a siAth grader. ": 0oing bac( though, the "ua(er school, how was that run. MC1L2A1,E: This was kindergarten and first and second grade. We had to go to meeting and that>s pretty hard when you>re 4 and 5. Gou just sit there and be 8uiet. Of course, we would scurry around under the pews and that sort of thing. There was much suppressed giggling and whispering. We ne er 8uite absorbed the spiritual part of it. ": 1here were you going to school when you first started in 1ashington. MC1L2A1,E: East Ward Public School on FoAhall just below Reser oir and FoAhall. ": 1hat would be so bad about it. At one point some of the schools li(e Central High were really 2uite good. MC1L2A1,E: There must ha e been good schools. 1 had been in the public schools in Pennsyl ania. 1 had felt challenged and pushed and interested, and as much as any kid enjoys school, had enjoyed it. 1n this school, there were no grades. There was just good, satisfactory, unsatisfactory. 1 got all goods eAcept conduct, which was routinely unsatisfactory. 1 was on the safety patrol, which was a big honor. Then the teacher kicked me off and put me back on and kicked me off and put me back on. Maybe it was just that teacher, 1 don>t know, but 1 found it a total waste. My parents ponied up the money and sent me off to a pri ate school the neAt year. ": 1here did you go. MC1L2A1,E: 1 went to Landon for 2 years. ": How did you find that. MC1L2A1,E: 1 enjoyed it. 1t was good. And then we went o erseas. My father migrated through the Wriston Act into the Foreign Ser ice. ": In 355, the Civil Service and the Foreign Service were amalgamated. At school and even before, were you much of a reader. 5 MC1L2A1,E: Ges. ": Do you recall any boo(s or authors that really grabbed you. MC1L2A1,E: Ges. The one that 1 still remember i idly was Kenneth Roberts, the stories of the re olution. Most of all, Oli er Wiswell. Up to then, 1 had had the standard monochromatic iew of American history: good guys, bad guys, no ariations. Here was a story about a Tory. That was a bad guy. That was defined. Get he was interesting, sympathetic, 1 began to understand what his problems were, and he didn>t seem much like a bad guy. 1 suddenly at age 10 or 11 learned that history had gradations and these were real people out there. ": You hit on a boo( that was a boo( that really set me off on history. MC1L2A1,E: 1> e been ery interested in American history e er since then. ": Then they start saying, 5You (now, in the colonies, 163 were independents, 163 were against, and 163 were indifferent.7 But we only get really the for independence. MC1L2A1,E: The irony of that is that 1 ha e since married a woman who H her family are loyalists who fled to Canada in 1006 and continued on to this day. We go up almost e ery year. ": I assume they live in Ontario. MC1L2A1,E: Actually, New Brunswick, which is where Benedict Arnold and a lot of loyalists ended up for a time. We go up to this beautiful little port town that>s all loyalists, still flying British flags and you ha e tea cups of Charles and Lady Di and all the trappings of Anglophilia are thick in this little town. As a 2irginian, e ery time, it takes a little adjusting to get used to this. 1 consider myself a semi3nati e 2irginian. ": 1here did your father go first. MC1L2A1,E: Lisbon, Portugal. ": How long were you there. MC1L2A1,E: He was there 3 years. 1 went to school in Switzerland, which was a great eAperience. 1 really enjoyed it. 1t was fabulous. ": Tell me about the Swiss education. You were a teenager. MC1L2A1,E: 1 was 13. 1 did 3 years there. 1t was an international school run without apologies for profit. 1t was called the School of Princes. While 1 was there, we had the Aga Khan. We had Prince AleAander of Gugosla ia. We had arious Saudi sheiks. Just a 6 smattering of royalty. We had the Shah of 1ran>s heirs. 1n fact, my first year there, in the spring, the Shah came to isit with then Eueen Soroya, his first wife, who was the star of most of the European pulp magazines. E ery week or so, they>d ha e a picture of Soroya because she was beautiful and glamorous, the Elizabeth Taylor of the late I50s. 1 had the distinct pleasure of kicking her out of my room when 1 was stark naked. 1 had just come back from swimming. 1 had taken off my bathing suit when the door swung open and there was the headmistress and Eueen Soroya and 1 took one step and slammed the door on both of them. 1 didn>t know who they were. Then my neighbor said, CDo you know what you didJD 1 was not chastised for my rudeness.

  • ICV20 Lupant.Pub
    Emblems of the State of Katanga (1960-1963) Michel Lupant On June 30 1960 the Belgian Congo became the Republic of Congo. At that time Ka- tanga had 1,654,000 inhabitants, i.e. 12.5% of the population of the Congo. On July 4 the Congolese Public Force (in fact the Army) rebelled first in Lower-Congo, then in Leopoldville. On July 8 the mutiny reached Katanga and some Europeans were killed. The leaders of the rebels were strong supporters of Patrice Lumumba. Faced with that situation on July 11 1960 at 2130 (GMT), Mr. Tschombe, Ka- tanga’s President, delivered a speech on a local radio station. He reproached the Cen- tral government with its policies, specially the recruitment of executives from commu- nist countries. Because of the threats of Katanga submitting to the reign of the arbitrary and the communist sympathies of the central government, the Katangese Government decided to proclaim the independence of Katanga.1 At that time there was no Katan- gese flag. On July 13 President Kasa Vubu and Prime Minister Lumumba tried to land at Elisabethville airport but they were refused permission to do so. Consequently, they asked United Nations to put an end to the Belgian agression. On July 14 the Security Council of the United Nations adopted a resolution asking the Belgian troops to leave the Congo, and therefore Katanga. Mr. Hammarskjöld, Secretary-General, considered the United Nations forces had to enter Katanga. Mr. Tschombe opposed that interpreta- tion and affirmed that his decision would be executed by force it need be.

The good vibes and learning points from the PEGI Congress in November 2010 were taken along into the new year and put to good use. PEGI is well established as the standard system for the “traditional” boxed game market as a trusted source of information for parents and other consumers. We have almost reached the point where PEGI is only unknown to parents if they deliberately choose to ignore video games entirely. A mistake, since practically every child or teenager in Europe enjoys video games.
