...navy honor guard in spotless whites. Air force jets flew overhead, and a 21-gun salute rang out from nearby Signal Hill. Beginning his second year in office, Mandela had arrived to open a new session of Parliament, and the spectacle suited the occasion--to all who remember apartheid, the very existence of a Mandela administration in South Africa is still amazing...
...only are Lynn's political views sickening, but his science is also fraudulent. Based on a study of the I.Q.s of Black South African students, whose scores were negatively affected by their living under apartheid and their difficulty with English, Lynn declared that the mean I.Q. of all Africans was 70, "proving" that they were even less intelligent than American Blacks. Murray and the late Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology Richard J. Herrnstein relied on this data without reservation, and this is just one of countless examples of their use of biased sources. Many of the "researchers" they cite...

He looks back on apartheid as "a dreadful fiasco" for everyone concerned. "We're doing well again," he says. "I reckoned it was time I started giving something back." He is one of an increasing number of whites who are trying to help penniless black workers become property owners...

...dispossession of the country's black farmers and the near elimination of black agriculture began long before the National Party turned apartheid into a legal code. Mandela's government will almost certainly need more than its planned five years to make significant progress in reversing this historic injustice, much less bring all blacks the jobs, houses, schools and hospitals he vowed to provide a year ago. Yet the early indications of goodwill toward men are providing a glimmer of cheer for many South Africans this year...
