Another sore point for the South Africans is Namibia. Carter referred to South Africa's intransigence in his Lagos speech, but failed to mention that the Marxist SWAPO (South West African People's Organization) has also rejected a settlement plan put forward by five Western powers. Carter only regretted, and did not condemn, the cold-blooded murder of Herero Chief Clemens Kapuuo, who almost certainly was the victim of a SWAPO assassination campaign directed against moderate black Namibians. One famous South African, Heart Surgeon Christiaan Barnard, charges that Washington refuses to accept admittedly imperfect internal settlements in Namibia...
...lyricism, the score does have strength. And there are some masterly touches, as in a ballroom scene in Act 1 in which Bothwell (sung by Barry Busse) and his soldiers watch awkwardly as Mary (Ashley Putnam) and her courtiers dance stately pavanes. Infuriated by the perfumed elegance, Bothwell strides forward and belts forth a rough Scottish reel. The roistering tune and sinister tremolo accompaniment overwhelm the lutelike Renaissance melody of the dance-and the musical battle foreshadows real ones to come...
...league championship was renowned for being as zany and fractious as any in sport when he took over as coach early this season. The best team money could buy (basketball division) featured a $2.2 million payroll and a collection of egos that beggared even that price tag. Forward George McGinnis often behaved as though his feet were chained to the floor when someone else had the ball. Center Darryl Dawkins, 6 ft. 11 in., 251 lbs., was a tempestuous man-child who had skipped college and played wearing two gold necklaces and an earring. At his best, Guard Lloyd Free...
...Sixers will go into the play-offs determined to redeem the promise of a preseason ticket-selling campaign: "We owe you one." But Philadelphia could have its hands full just winning the Eastern Conference playoffs. San Antonio, winner of its own division, is a well-balanced club that has Forward George Gervin, the highest scorer in the league (28 point average a game). While the 76ers are fighting it out in the East, the Western Conference will hold a trial by fire guaranteed to produce a team that will be undaunted by Philadelphia. Portland is recovering from an astonishing...
Some parallels to the relationship between Government and press are immediately apparent: officials trying to put their best foot forward; newsmen pressing to discover what they may be concealing. Yet the difference between the news process and courtroom procedure is profound. The judge is missing-that judge who forbids misleading tactics, freely admonishes both sides, determines which evidence is valid and finally instructs the jury on how it should weigh what it has heard. In the news-gathering process, the press is both prosecutor and sole judge of its own activities-answerable in advance of publication to no one (though...
