...took office three years ago, he seemed the ideal man to continue the white supremacist ways of his predecessors-Johannes Strijdom, Daniel Malan and Hendrik Verwoerd. Grim and humorless, he had served five years as Minister of Justice and took credit for some of South Africa's harshest apartheid laws. To the ruling Nationalist Party, he was a hero, dedicated to preserving its policy of strict color separation. It is little short of amazing, then, that Vorster should now be under attack by Nationalist right-wingers as a dangerous liberal...

Super-Segregationist Dr. Albert Hertzog, 70, expelled from the party last month, will formally launch a new political union this week-the Christian National Party-to challenge the Nationalists.

Congress would then be free to overhaul or eliminate programs that do not turn out as they were intended. He would end de facto apartheid in congested areas by breaking down the artificial distinction between cities and suburbs. A study of Chicago convinced him that Negroes could be redistributed by bus throughout city and suburban schools until they constituted about 15% of the student body in each. This, Lowi feels, would achieve integration not only...
