...hadn't realized how much the Afrikaaner Nationalist Party controls white lives in South Africa. The Dutch Reform Church has a firm grip on the Afrikaans populations, at least here in the heart of the Transvaal. And it has no qualms about legislating morality: there seems to be a need to prove that whites are morally superior, to justify their legal and economic control of the country. No drinking or soccer on Sundays; no pornography (though pictures of bikini-clad women are splashed everywhere in this incredibly macho society); and, of course, no interracial sex.

...holding off the guerrilla forces and by poking enough loopholes in plans for "transition to black majority rule" to make them more nominal than real.

Pat Benedict, a wheat farmer, is the exception, not the rule...
Since the CRR's inception, students have continually protested the existence of a committee designed as an administrational tool to control political protest at Harvard. The history of student objection to the CRR spans nine years, and the boycott was perhaps the last vestige of the protest movements that produced the forerunners...
