...black shantytown near Johannesburg, South Africa, Primary Schoolteacher Desmond Mpilo Tutu saw a white man respectfully tip his hat to a black woman. Tutu had never seen a white make such a gesture. The woman was Tutu's mother; the white was the Rev. Trevor Huddleston, now an Anglican bishop. The priest subsequently befriended the young black, and after Tutu was hospitalized in 1953 for tuberculosis, Huddleston visited him daily for 20 months. Tutu, profoundly impressed, followed his white friend into the clergy, rising rapidly in the Anglican Church in southern Africa and becoming Bishop of Lesotho...
...think that they're really a cover-up for doing nothing at the levels where they really mean anything," says Bishop Trevor Huddleston, a leader of the anti-apartheid movement, director at the International Defense and Aid Fund (IDAF) and South African resident. The IDAF provides legal aid to South Africans challenging the legality of elements of the apartheid system. Timothy R. Smith, the executive director of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, which coordinates $8 billion in investments held by a group of American churches, adds. "It is clear that over the past year the presence of American companies...
...four losers who keep ending up on each other's doorsteps like stray cats. Danelo (Craig Wasson). The son of Yugoslay immigrants toys with writing poetry and playing the clarinet; Tom (Jim Metzler) provides the he-man silent type, meaning he has only a half-dozen lines; David (Michael Huddleston) is the chubby, balding Jewish son of an undertaker who inherits the business; and Georgia (Jodi Thelen), a vivacious, lusty young debauchka who drives all three boys to be forever singing "Georgia in My Mind." Georgia is supposed to be dynamic--she has more personality than a pingpong bail...
...David, Tom and Danilo were the best of friends. And they all loved the same girl." David (Michael Huddleston) is a fat, funny Jew, welded by family tradition into his niche as a middle-class mortician. Tom (Jim Metzler) is tall, quiet, athletic, a reluctant ladykiller; he goes to Viet Nam and brings back a native wife and two children. Danilo (Craig Wasson) is Tesich's maturing self-image: breezing through high school and college, working in a slag mill, brushing up (almost fatally) against old American wealth, articulating his fellow Slavs' ardor for their adopted country...
While nearly all Americans would -and should-abhor such actions, many are concerned that the nation is being overrun with foreigners. The teeming boatloads of Cuban and Haitian refugees who landed on Florida's shores last year only heightened those concerns. Democratic Senator Walter Huddleston of Kentucky estimates that, if present trends continue, immigration will add at least 35 million people to the current U.S. population of 229 million by the year 2000. "Those 35 million people will need land, water, energy and food," complains Huddleston. "Where are we going to find those resources, unless we ask our citizens...
