One clear priority is a strong condemnation of the Reagan policy toward South Africa; most blacks, and other Democratic activists, correctly believe that the Administration has done little to discourage Pretoria's apartheid practices. On other international issues, Jackson has broken not only with Administration positions but with those of his party's leadership. During his trips abroad, for example, he contended that U.S. blacks share a special rapport with revolutionaries in the Third World since both have been victims of colonial-style repression. Some party leaders fear that such...
Until the deadlock is broken, every utterance by Moscow and Washington will be freighted with significance. The Reagan bombing quip, repeated and amplified by the East bloc's controlled press, has poisoned the already contentious atmosphere.

Still, there is time on his hands and an emotional need to fill, so he drifts, convictionless, into the I.R.A.'s orbit, driving getaway cars for their "revolutionary" crimes. One of these forays results...
