...Rhodesian Front Party raised the green-and-white flag of independence over Government House in Salisbury; today, few governments in the world have recognized that flag, and 15,000 armed men wait across the border in Zambia and Mozambique for the right moment to attack. Two months ago, the guerrilla forces of the Patriotic Front shot down a Rhodesian airliner, and last week armed insurgents made their first foray into Salisbury itself. Some observers think the government will fall...
...this burden is the kidnapping and murder of a minor British embassy official named West (well-played by Trevor Barnes). Throughout the play he is the detached observer of Indians either viciously slaughtered or "civilized." West dies eventually--killed for no reason by Carlos (Jeff Horwitz), an otherwise affable guerrilla, in a mockery of the Marxist's own vision of justice...

There have been some signs that the Videla regime would like to govern in a more moderate fashion, when...
Pretoria's goal is to undercut the South West African People's Organization (SWAPO)-which has waged a guerrilla war against South Africa for the past twelve years-by staging elections in December, well before the U.N. force could be in place. Since SWAPO refuses to participate in such an election, the biracial Democratic Turnalle Alliance, which South Africa created and still dominates, would be virtually assured of victory. Third World nations regard such a voting arrangement as worthless-a view increasingly shared in the West. "You don't try to rig an election or rush...
