...only position which has been white for all of The Crimson's 125 years of existence is that of the president. And that is liable to change.

Nothwithstanding the bonhomie, there may also be some tough talking between the President and his hosts. Mbeki has publicly criticized Clinton over trade issues, while South Africa?s relationships with Washington?s rogues gallery -- Cuba, Libya, Iran and others -- creates periodic spats between the two governments.
