Under the country's maze of white-supremacist apartheid rules, nonwhites may be banished from urban areas to distant villages for a variety of causes. Example: workers who have been in a city for 20 years or more may be sent back home at once if they lose their job. Others, after a lifetime's residence in South Africa, find their wives "endorsed out" * under the new restrictions if the women were born outside South Africa. In western Cape Province alone, 500 men and women are now banished monthly. Even worse is the plight of some...
Tired Watching. This year, seeded No. 4, McKinley did not even lose a set. He got unexpected help from Germany's Wilhelm Bungert, who upset Australia's No. 1 -seeded Roy Emerson in a mara thon quarterfinal. McKinley routed Bungert, 6-2, 6-4, 8-6. Said the German: "I was tired. Tired from those five-set matches earlier. And tired from watching McKinley run." In the finals, Chuck came up against lanky Fred Stolle, a Sydney bank clerk who had beaten him four out of six times in previous matches. Trying to blow McKinley off the court...
...best trampoline men in the country. One day last week, he was tuning up for the U.S.-Russian track meet in Moscow late this month by performing a complicated trampoline maneuver called a "flifis": a double backward somersault with a twist.

At week's end his condition was still listed as "critical...
...prefer every time," Homer once said, "a picture composed and painted outdoors. This making studies and then taking them home to use them is only half right. You get composition, but you lose freshness." Homer must have spent just about every daylight hour outdoors, for in one Mountainville summer alone, he turned out 50 watercolors, plus drawings and oils. He painted everything from sheep grazing in a distant field to grizzled guides, husky young trappers, beguiling children and young shepherdesses. Sometimes-no one knows quite why-he dressed his plowmen and shepherdesses in costumes of the 18th century...
...irrepressible. In two other novels, Justine and Juliette, he created an aristocracy of sexual perverts who inhabit lonely castles where they have unlimited license to commit foul crimes; where the most heroic is the most corrupt; where the true heroine does not try to preserve her virtue but to lose it as quickly as possible. Eventually, De Sade could not put on paper crimes vicious enough to satisfy him. "To attack the sun," he wrote, "to deprive the universe of it or to use it to set the world ablaze -these would be crimes indeed!" Madness & Insight. During the French...
