Im Gegensatz zu ihren westlichen Kollegen nehmen Afrikaner Wahlen sehr ernst - früh aufgestanden, um sich stundenlang in der heißen Sonne anzustellen und ihre Stimmzettel abzugeben. Jeder fehlgeleitete Versuch, ihre Stimmen zu annullieren oder zu stehlen, wird eine starke Reaktion von ihnen hervorrufen.

There are people who literally cannot start a project until the deadline is four hours away, even if it's a big one. And those people have a serious problem. My recommendation is set up mini-deadlines. You might say, 'Okay, here's my deadline after three days for this and there's another deadline for that and then a third deadline.'

The idea of infection began to be taken far more seriously than it ever had before. Hospitals transformed themselves in response to the new plague - sometimes for the better, but often for the worse, as when, in fear, they cast their ulcerated patients out into the streets.
