...Vellucci keeps campaigning, confident that he has put the Globe story, the furor over his past, and even the fact of Antonelli's suspension, behind him. Shrewdly generating the confident image, he greets reporters with left hand extended--"bursitis, shaking too many hands with the other one" has claimed his right arm, he says. Predicting "a bigger vote than last time, for sure," he dismisses newspaper reports of his impending political death as greatly exaggerated. "The newspapers know nothing about politics. This is street politics, and they don't teach that at the School of Government at Harvard," he boasts...
...furor continued, Carter seemed pleased by what he had wrought. An aide described him as "very satisfied" with the jolt produced by his press-conference blast. Having been criticized for being too gentlemanly in supporting his energy program, he was suddenly under fire for putting on the 8-oz. gloves-and seemed to relish it.

The minister first strongly implied that Biko, who was detained for questioning under South Africa's tough internal security laws, had died as a result of a hunger strike. An inquest, expected to be held later this month, will inquire into the suspicious circumstances of the death. Kruger further...
...MYSTERIOUS DEATH in a South African prison five weeks ago of Stephen Biko, a prominent leader of the anti-apartheid "Black Consciousness Movement" among South African blacks in the past decade, has justly provoked an international furor. But the Biko case must not serve simply as a short-lived cathartic outlet for anger and moral outrage. Rather, it should be seen as just the latest and most visible reminder of the larger pattern of ongoing government repression in South Africa--a pattern that has grown increasingly pervasive and brutal since the outbreak of anti-apartheid demonstrations in South Africa...
