#3 Why do I hear "Springtime for Hitler and Germany" running through my mind while I read this article. Is it my own latent racism?

#5 Bob hasn't been tooling up for nothing, I recall them stating they would be better off with half the population gone. My opinion of which half would differ, I am sure.
Anyway, summary of a road-trip SA-Zim last week by my intrepid reporter: "Airlines all full, so took a road trip. Beitbridge still a nightmare, loads of trucks, road edges worn, oncoming traffic a nightmare, ten roadblocks between there and Hre, polite, only asking for vehicle dox. Overnight in Bubi, Lion and Elephant (motel in the middle of nowhere), full. Fuel not a problem.
Harare buzzing with people, whites having a change of heart. Trying to miss goats and houts on the Masvingo road back."
Spring time for Hitler, indeed.

LIFE Magazine, February 12, 1965. Russian and Chinese weapons airlifted to the Congo rebels. RED ARSENALS ARM THE SIMBAS.

#7 Visit The Great Zimbabwe Ruins

Guided tours run daily through the ruins, a museum that holds the archaeological artifacts that have been recovered from the ruins

#8 It would still have all the charm of a crack-whore after a face-lift, even if it could change, Besoeker, :(

#9 Actually, sounds like NEP to me. Good for a purge in seven-eight years?
