It was his 15th Middle East cover story; his first was in 1969 and was on Golda Meir. Most of them, he notes, "have been late-starting, because things have a way of happening suddenly over there."

I knew who he was, of course, and the record of his organization. But, personally, I didn't know the late Mr. Biko from a bar of soap. I think that [police] judgment may have been at fault. With a big administration, it is quite impossible for my office to control every single aspect [of operation], but that doesn't lessen my responsibility. There is a human element which...
