...recent sessions of the American Heart Association and affiliated arteriosclerosis research groups, and of the American Medical Association, hundreds of cardiologists and angiologists, physiologists and epidemiologists, have presented scores of learned papers on the findings from their research on Bantu and Eskimos, Finns and Yugoslavs, Norwegians and Japanese, Britons and Americans...
Durban was divided into sections for whites, Indians, coloreds, and Bantus (Negroes), and Dr. Salber and her husband, also a doctor, were working in the Bantu township. Though facilities were good and the work "terribly exciting," apartheid raised moral problems. Just outside the township was a settlement of 6000 Bantu men on contract labor, brought in from all around the country. Mothers complained to Dr. Salber that their daughters were being threatened, and malnutrition was a problem among the huge colony of men. Yet to complain to the government from a medical and humanitarian point of view inevitably...
...Barnard now had a delicate problem. Haupt was of a complicated racial mixture (part white, part Bantu, part Malay, perhaps even part Hottentot) that is classified as "Colored" under South Africa's race laws.

In recent months the pop market has been penetrated by a new and impressive clutch of poet troubadours. They are mostly ex-folk singers who turn out their own numbers, are older than their forerunners and more musically sophisticated. They write songs with titles like A Single Desultory Philippic and Sunshine Superman. The recurring themes are loneliness...
...Afrikaner frightens me. As a Jewish South African, I realize that, were it not for his preoccupation with the Bantu, he would still be openly and violently antiSemitic. He frightens me because, ostrichlike, he refuses to see that apartheid can never work. He frightens me because he cannot stand criticism, and because in his mad efforts to eliminate opposition he creates the very conditions (ripe for revolution) that he seeks to destroy...
