...with white radical groups. One such critic is Stokely Carmichael, now in Guinea working for the restoration of Ghana's deposed dictator, Kwame Nkrumah. Cleaver dismissed Carmichael's argument, saying: "A revolutionary movement calls for unity. Capitalism thrives on the kind of divisions some people want to keep...
Vorster has encouraged immigration from Europe at the rate of 50,000 a year to keep white South Africa from being totally submerged by blacks. The right-wingers complain, however, that the newcomers, mostly Southern European Catholics, will soon outnumber the Dutch-descended, Afrikaans-speaking Calvinists, who have increasingly dominated South African politics since the 1930s. In any event, Vorster's immigration effort seems doomed. Current projections indicate that by the year 2000, there will be 70 nonwhites to every white in South Africa. Even today, white South Africans total only 3,600,000, compared with 13 million blacks...

He found the perfect use for China's stiff brown toilet paper: he made himself a deck of cards out of it and played solitaire...
...certainly the museum's most controversial acquisition in the last decade. No one in Manhattan's ingrown art world elicits such studied veneration or unquotable outrage. One reason is that Henry has taken on the almost incompatible tasks of scout and judge. As scout, he strives to keep abreast, mingling familiarly with the most avant of the avantgardists. Huffing and puffing up countless stairs to artists' studios by day, wining and dining with their patrons by night, he is equally at home in the scruffy lofts of Canal Street and the elegant appointments of the Dakota...
