...realistic expression of black opinion. United States Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young has aptly criticized the settlement, noting that a settlement without the Popular Front will probably set black against black, eventually outweighing any possible benefits. Furthermore, the Smith plan does not meet the standards of the Anglo-American proposal hammered out last year...
Transatlantic Blues is about a different purgatory: that clammy conscience-ridden cell between worldly success and a proud otherworldly tradition. Stylistically, the novel is the nonstop confession of Monty (né Pendrid) Chatworth, a British-born American TV interviewer. He is something of an Anglo-American Alexander Portnoy, but with a crucial difference. Portnoy, draped over a psychiatrist's couch, complained that his lust was repugnant to his stern Hebraic morality and that his morality was repugnant to his sexual nature. Chatworth, slumped in his seat high above the Atlantic, confesses to his tape recorder ("Father Sony") that...
Blunt and aristocratic, Carver regards himself as "an apolitical general," but he has strong views on Rhodesia. Before flying to Salisbury, he responded sharply to criticism Smith has leveled at Carver's advocacy of majority rule.

Carver is convinced that the current peace proposals are "the last chance for a just and peaceful settlement in Rhodesia...

The bitter guerrilla war against black nationalist soldiers drags on, and Salisbury has begun to take on a Belfast look: bags are searched, windows are taped, and bomb posters are everywhere.

Thus thousands of whites are packing up, selling their houses and cars (at huge losses), and emigrating to South Africa and beyond on the "chicken run" (TIME...
British officials emphasized that according to the Anglo-American security proposals, the new army would comprise not only the guerrillas but also "acceptable elements" of the Rhodesian forces. Moreover, they pointed out, the Rhodesian police would remain in place under the transitional leadership. Overseeing this delicate grouping of white-led police and black-controlled army units would be U.N. forces, perhaps composed of contingents from Nigeria, Kenya and Finland. British and American officials argue that once a transitional government embracing moderate African elements was in place in Salisbury, the guerrilla armies would be under increasing pressure not to fight...
