...their monumental marks, from temples to palaces. The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, a private NGO based in New Delhi, counts 70,000 historic monuments across the country, and R.P. Pereira in the New Delhi office of UNESCO?whose World Heritage Committee meets this week in Durban, South Africa, to review global conservation efforts?calls India "the world's biggest heritage site."

...negative reaction to the Durban speech gained in volume, Foreign Minister Botha insisted that the address had in fact lived up to its advance billing.

In all, 61 people, including several blacks, were injured...

With good reason. It was the third time in eight days that whites had been victims of racially motivated violence. Two days before, an unidentified non-white youth threw a hand grenade under a van parked on a crowded Durban street, injuring eight whites. On Dec. 15, six whites were killed when their truck hit a land mine as they drove along a road near the Zimbabwe border. The A.N.C. admitted that it had planted the device, as well as six others that have killed seven and injured eleven since November. Predictably, the government of State President P.W. Botha promptly...
