Single-interest groups are needed because particular dams, freeways and threats to civil liberties have particular victims who do better by organizing a particular response. Without the Audubon Society and the Sierra Club, the nonEstablishment majority would have no one to defend them against the single-issue groups in and around the Government...
...displayed in black papers like Percy Qoboza's Post.) But the U.S. is clearly some kind of symbol to South Africans, though it is a confused one at best. To blacks, it seems to be a place of freedom, to some extent at least, the place where a black civil rights movement could make headway without fullscale war. To whites, America is an unreliable ally, which must be drawn in on their side in the fight against the liberation movement. More and more, South African government officials describe apartheid-ruled South Africa as Africa's last hold-out against Marxism...
...this spring with three black moderates--Bishop Abel Muzorewa, Reverend Ndabaningi Sithole and Jeremiah Chirau--guarantees whites a 28-member bloc in the future parliament, enough seats to block any constitutional changes.

...averted if a credible, autonomous black government with the backing of the West and the approval of moderate Africans were to emerge; but this appears unlikely given the present settlement. Instead, the most likely occurrence will be the eventual removal of Smith by the guerrilla forces, followed by a civil war with different black groups pulling and tugging at Rhodesia until little is left. And that can only be bad news for the six million Africans who hope to inherit an independent Zimbabwe...
