...still under arrest. But black leaders refuse even to negotiate with Botha unless he agrees to legalize the A.N.C. and begin negotiations on a new and democratic constitution. Some Afrikaners, on the other hand, reacted to all talk of reform as if it were the work of the devil. Sixteen Nationalist members of Parliament broke with Botha and formed the new Conservative Party, pledged to total apartheid, now and forever...
