...Neale Hurston adorn the walls. During lunchtime, a team of about two dozen volunteers worked the phones in the glow of a wall-mounted flat-panel TV. Here, too, a steely resolve is palpable. "There is an excitement in being able to participate in the democratic process," says Lynne Hertzog, a Clinton volunteer who spent two days canvassing door-to-door in New Hampshire and has distributed fliers and worked the phone bank here all week...
...begin with. Another hope is that dictatorships will gain enough of a sense of security to cut out at least the routine use of the worst brutalities. Meanwhile, about the only avenues left are publicity and prayer-and, perhaps, keeping alive in memory a statement made by Vladimir Hertzog, a Brazilian journalist found dead a few hours after being detained in Sao Paulo last October.

The tiny, anti-apartheid Progressive Party increased its total vote by one-third, and its lone member of Parliament, the spirited and courageous Helen Suzman, nearly tripled her 1966 lead. By contrast, Hertzog's party failed to win a single seat; all four of its M.P.s were defeated. Hertzog himself received only 926 votes out of 9,160 in the constituency he had held since 1948. Observers believe that Hertzog's fanaticism, which included a demand for suppressing the English language in South Africa...
