Cancers are known for their (sometimes blunt) honesty and although Tommaso Buscetta, born today in 1928, did not seem to have this trait during his time working for the Mafia in both Italy and America it figured later in his life when he turned informant.
He gave vital information to the police in Italy on the Mafia, and at just one trial his testimony as the lead witness imprisoned almost three hundred and fifty members of the Mafia! Seems like he did not feel any typical Cancer loyalty towards the people he used to work for.  
 
Cancers always like to give their best performance, and are hard working and dedicated to their careers.

Wedgewood pottery is now part of the Waterford group and the blue "Jasperware" china with a white overlay decoration which the company is most famous for is more commonly known across the world as "Wedgewood china".
