...Barnard now had a delicate problem. Haupt was of a complicated racial mixture (part white, part Bantu, part Malay, perhaps even part Hottentot) that is classified as "Colored" under South Africa's race laws.

Then the surgeons had to get consent from Haupt's next of kin. His wife Dorothy collapsed when she was told he could not survive. To protect themselves, the doctors asked Haupt's mother. Widowed...

Below the skin's outermost horny layer, or stratum corneum (see diagram), lies a germinative layer where, on exposure to sunlight, the pigment-producing cells are stimulated to produce more melanin-and a suntan. The black races (Negro, Bushman-Hottentot and Australoid), with a more abundant supply of melanin, are in effect, perpetually tanned. Members of the white race are transparent-skinned in winter, when they must make the most of the limited ultraviolet avail able to synthesize vitamin D, but they take a tan in summer, when they might suffer from...

Lewis, caustic head of the United Mine Workers, called her "woozy in the head," adding that although she would make an excellent housekeeper she didn't know as much about economics "as a Hottentot does about moral...
...Forty years ago, the idea of there being a great English sculptor was as remote as a Hottentot becoming prime minister of Scotland," says one British artist. Today Great Britain has become a hotbed of new sculptors, with three museum shows in London currently devoted to their renaissance. Miraculous as the new flowering appears, the sculpture bloom began in the 1930s, when British artists found the seeds for their ideas on the Continent from such sources as Brancusi, Archipenko and Picasso, repotted their findings in good English earth, and began producing a hardy native growth...
