Often they draw conclusions, but seldom are they more than superficial. For example, they half-develop the theme of "class warfare" between traditional ethnic Democrats and educated Yuppie liberals, but they don't tell us what the race showed about the future of each of these groups...
With gathering speed, yet another of apartheid's pillars -- the mandatory residential separation of the races -- is crumbling. Especially in Johannesburg but also in other large cities, neighborhoods that were once entirely white are seeing a steady influx of ethnic Asians, "coloreds" (people of mixed race), and, most surprisingly, blacks. The migration to these so-called gray areas is taking place in violation of the Group Areas Act, which completed the process of assigning every square foot of South Africa to residential use by one of the four racial groups and, when passed in 1950, was hailed by Prime Minister...

Rizzo last week carried the party's heavily Democratic ethnic wards, but some 98% of blacks stuck with Goode, despite his record, and 20% of the white voters joined them. The result was a squeaky 51%-to-49% re-election for the city's first black mayor...
