...about a chastity belt. Ten minutes later a thumping South African chant turns into a wild dance accompanied by a myriad of homemade instruments. When they aren't singing, the company takes turns playing whites and blacks shooting each other. (The politics of Wait a Minim are strongly anti-apartheid, by the way.) Absurdity runs rings around absurdity; only the songs keep chaos from taking over...
Although this kind of accusation has long been a staple of Chinese official rhetoric, this time it does have a certain validity. For whatever its stated objectives, in reality the treaty will enforce an "atomic apartheid" in both peaceful and military fields. Limiting the number of members in the nuclear club can only support the strategic status quo, whose staunchest defenders are the United States and the Soviet Union.

...United Party fell and the Nationalist Party, with a rigid policy of total apartheid, came into power. Increasingly repressive laws, disguised as "Suppression of Communism Acts," silenced opposition and further limited what doctors like Dr. Salber could do for the native and mulatto population. Most white South Africans, Dr. Salber explained, were "shocked, but then they accepted the laws. Who wants to go to jail without a trial? We could see that it was going to be increasingly difficult for people who thought differently than the government. If you didn't agree, you had to shut up and live with...
