Copy sent to the New York Times and TIME was indicted jointly as "inaccurate, frequently dishonest, overpartisan and hostile to South Africa and whites particularly the Afrikaner and the Nationalist Party." Times Correspondent C. S. Sulzberger was rated "100% very bad."

This week Wilkinson stock goes on sale on the London Exchange for the first time -and the value of the shares retained by Randolph and other members of the family-owned company will make them all millionaires overnight. To the owners of 192-year-old Wilkinson, this is only the latest indignity heaped upon them...
...certain trade unions that full employment provides the excuse for tactics of disruption." In February, 40 boilermakers struck one company because they could not get fish and chips for their Friday lunch, and last month 300 iron workers walked off a job at the Sydney engineering works of Tulloch, Ltd. because management would not unlock a door to save them a 200-yd. walk in the rain...
