  Kaunitz, Wenzel Anton, Furst von. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Reversing 300 years of Hapsburg diplomacy, Kaunitz recognized Prussia rather than France as the chief enemy of Austria and was responsible for the coalition that led to the Seven Years War.
Kaunitz did not agree with all of the reforms of Joseph II, but he helped Joseph centralize the administration.
Kaunitz is regarded as one of the most astute statesmen of the 18th cent.

 Tailoring HRT to Your Patients: An Expert Roundtable Discussion on the Issue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Kaunitz: A lot of patients who are referred to me to initiate HRT or for amenorrhea evaluations have had a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) drawn by their primary care physician.
Kaunitz: It's also important for women to recognize that when they choose--and we should present this as a choice--between a continuous and a cyclical combination HRT regimen, it is not an irrevocable decision.
Kaunitz: In other words, conventional doses of HRT are addressing her hot flashes, hopefully there is a favorable impact on bone metabolism, and yet symptomatic vaginal atrophy progresses.

 Wenzel Anton Graf Kaunitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wenzel Anton Graf Kaunitz (Count Anton von Kaunitz), (Václav Antonín hrabě Kounic-Rietberg) (February 2, 1711 - June 27, 1794), born into old Bohemian noble family settled in Moravia, was an Austrian statesman.
In 1764 he was styled Reichsfürst von Kaunitz-Rietberg (Imperial Prince of Kaunitz-Rietberg), his father having been Maximilian Ulrich von Kaunitz, and his mother having been Marie Ernestine von Ostfriesland-Rietberg.
Kaunitz should have become a clergyman when he was a boy, but he soon decided otherwise and studied law instead.

It was considered a great feat of diplomacy, and established Kaunitz as the recognized master of the art.
When Frederick, whose interest it was to humour him, promised to listen quietly, Kaunitz rolled his mind out for two hours, and went away with the firm conviction that he had at last enlightened the inferior intellect of the king of Prussia as to what politics really were.
With all his pomposity and conceit, Kaunitz was astute, he was laborious and orderly; when his advice was not taken he would carry out the wishes of his masters, while no defeat ever damped his pertinacity.

In matters of religion Kaunitz was one of the foremost adherents of the intellectual movement known as the "Enlightenment" (Aufklärung).
When Pius VI visited Vienna in 1782, Kaunitz treated him very rudely and advised that the clergy be forbidden to come to Vienna while the pontiff was visiting there.

Kaunitz caught the eye of his confidant, and coming hastily toward the table, he stood for a few moments without speaking a word.
Kaunitz saw it all, and as he threw the dice into the golden dice-box, he muttered, "Miserable worms, ye think yourselves gods, and are the slaves of a little fiend, whose name is GOLD." As he raised the dice-box, the door opened, and his first valet appeared on the threshold.
Kaunitz thrust in his hands, and slowly left the room, followed by the dog, the valets, and the hair-dresser.

 Federal Chancellary of Austria
Court and State Chancellor from 1753 to 1792, Kaunitz was one of the major driving forces behind the reform of the state under Maria Theresa; he reorganized the civil service in an attempt to centralise the administration that was widely scattered until then.
When Maria Theresa had the archives of Graz, Innsbruck and Prague brought to Vienna in the wake of the centralisation of the administration, the building had to be extended to make room for these holdings.
Kaunitz took a lively interest in the reconstruction which was designed by the court architect Nicolaus Pacassi from 1764 to 1767.

 FDA APPROVES NEW MONTHLY INJECTABLE CONTRACEPTIVE, GIVING WOMEN A LONG-LASTING BIRTH CONTROL OPTION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Kaunitz, who directed the Phase III (final stage) human trials in 1997 and 1998, said all of the women enrolled in the study were followed medically for 60 weeks after receiving their initial birth control shots.
None of the participants discontinued the monthly injections due to severe adverse effects, according to Kaunitz and project co-director Dr. Lee Shulman of the University of Illinois in Chicago.
Nationwide data from the trials show that 84 percent of women receiving the injectable contraceptive reported "very" or "somewhat" favorable opinions of the method; 87 percent reported they had no difficulty with returning to their physician’s office for injections, and 90 percent said they would recommend the product to a friend.
