...protests against the Mail come not from official sources alone. A torrent of abuse was pouring into Gandar's office from an angry public that seemed to think Verwoerd should get far tougher with the Mail. "Hang down your head in shame! You have done irreparable harm to our wonderful country," wrote one irate reader. Staffers have also received threatening phone calls, and students from Witwatersrand University were picketing the Mail's offices last week with bitter placards: "News, Not Abuse," and "Is it Worth it, Gandar?"

...water hyacinth has been brought partially under control with the familiar chemical 2,4-D. But 2,4-D may harm surrounding vegetation and is expensive to apply. The manatee, a clumsy, seal-like sea cow with a voracious appetite for hyacinths, has proved a devastating enemy to the plant. Manatees have been placed in bodies of water as a kind of marine lawnmower. They, too, have a drawback: they are listless lovers and slow to reproduce. Two of the sea cows were kept in the same tank for two years. They have no progeny to show for their long...
