"In South Africa, it's racism that's reinforced by ignorance and the fact that when you're born into a racist society, you don't have a chance to make your own judgements," he said. Denis Beckett, editor of the new liberal monthly Frontline, offers a caveat. White South Africans are in his view no more racist that whites elsewhere. "When I go abroad, half the people I meet say things like, "Glad to see you're keeping the niggers in line,'" he said...

Hastily substituted for two Samuel Beckett pieces at a late date, The Berlin Requiem is a series of seven songs devoid of light, hope, and in the end life itself. It is a work of music, really, not theater at all. Weill's orchestration turns the woodwind section into a mock organ, coldly pealing in the face...
