...last June's protests South African authorities have moved efficiently to chop at the roots of black resistance. A year ago, The Children had power enough to force the resignation of Soweto's 41-member Urban Bantu Council for being too subservient to white control and to close most of the ghetto's secondary and high schools in a student-led boycott. They even helped speed the resignation of M.C. Botha, an archconservative who was South Africa's Minister of Bantu Administration.

There were three Premiers during the time of the bribes: Leone, Moro and Mariano Rumor. All vigorously denied the accusations; Leone's denial was weakened, however, by his close friendship with the brothers Ovidio and Antonio Lefebvre, who have been accused of serving as Lockheed's bagmen and are currently on trial in connection with the payoffs.

But Herbert has nearly destroyed the school in order to save it. First he decided to close it completely, but now it will shift from a four-year course to various shorter training programs. The full-time student body is being slashed from 1,120 to 250, the faculty from 177 to 25. Long-sought liberal arts accreditation now appears impossible. While the chips fall, Herbert is buzzing...
