...those concerns. Because the complexities apparent in the paradox that is South Africa reflect the problems of our society--racism, economic inequality as a result of the capitalist system, Third World health problems, and the role of corporate investment in developing countries--it represents a sort of Pandora's Box. When it is opened, the ramifications will be felt by all humanity. So South Africa cannot be ignored; the issue is here to stay. If nothing else, closer examination of the facts--the kind sparked by the Day of Dialogue--will make it easier for people to understand when, friends...

Giles and Tibba live in a bare house in Islington ruled by the dictates of his morbid sensitivity. There are no newspapers, and the radio is strictly a music box, Vivaldi preferred. Tibba thinks that the Whigs are still a political party and has never heard of the Social Democrats. Her embittered father believes that "if you said cynical things people supposed you cleverer than if you said positive, obvious things." When someone asks him what his period is, he spits...
