...been a condition in any negotiation." In Washington, State Department Spokesman Bernard Kalb said the Government "will not pressure other governments to make concessions to those holding hostages." Washington has been firm in its support of Kuwait's punishment of the jailed terrorists, who left 60 wounded and five dead in their wake. Both countries would now find it difficult to back down...
...reputation rests chiefly on works of the past few years, A Lesson from Aloes (1978), Master Harold . . . and the Boys (1982) and The Road to Mecca (1984), and on two remarkable collaborations with actors, Sizwe Bansi Is Dead and The Island (both 1972). But Fugard, 53, found a mature voice almost from the moment he began, as the Yale Repertory Theater demonstrated last week in what it billed as a "25th anniversary" revival of his first international success, The Blood Knot.

Others have and will continue to credit Harvard's stance on South Africa to political motivations. If such accusations are used to discredit all movements, then activism is dead. The activists' belief that they are at the top of the moral heirarchy encourages them to dismiss any other solutions to the South African problem as purely political and meaningless. This assumption of moral rectitude constructs an artificial barrier between different ways of dealing with South Africa. And it is this assumption which paralyzes the Harvard community and impedes any effort to cooperate and make a real, long-term contribution...
