...then he adds, typically, "God rest her soul because she, in her heart, was a good person." Nixon takes off after Martha, who died last year following a prolonged bout with bone cancer, in the fifth and presumably last of his taped television interviews with British Television Personality David Frost, being aired this month...
...Nixon show amounts to a pastiche of odds and ends from Frost's 28 hours of interviews-material left over from the four conversations that have already been aired.

This new group rejects even the limited concessions the regime has been making to blacks. As disturbing for the Smith regime is the quickened tempo of the "chicken run"-the flight of whites. Between 1,500 and 1,700 now leave Rhodesia each month; the net loss to the country (after accounting for immigration) could reach...
