...Magnus Malan, the former defense minister of South Africa, and ten other ex-military leaders were in a Johannesburg courtroom Thursday to answer charges that they trained an Inkatha-Zulu "hit squad" that massacred 13 black ANC sympathizers. "Coming right after the elections, the timing of this trial has angered many whites on the right wing," says Hawthorne. "They see this as victimization of whites, because some blacks who have been involved in political violence have been given anmnesty, while whites who were involved in the same kind of violence are being brought to court. The trial won't split...
...Anne (Catherine deLima). Anne is much younger than her husband, Fredrik (Colin Stokes), and wants to preserve her virginity. So Fredrik seeks satisfaction in his old romance, Desiree (Lacey Tucker), whose theater troupe is passing through town. The affair is not long without complications. Desiree's jealous lover Carl-Magnus (Daren Firestone), a moronic dragoon who loves to fight, shows up just as the two lovers are emerging from her bedroom, and soon he is complaining of the infidelity of his wife Charlotte (Vonnie Roemer).

Limbaugh picks his spots. He praises Ronald Reagan ("Ronaldus Magnus") for everything he likes about the '80s and blames the Democratic Congress for everything he hates.

"You simply cannot have the public at large telling...

Denying that he had a double agenda, De Klerk nonetheless sidelined two Cabinet members at the center of the doubts about the government's integrity: Defense Minister Magnus Malan and Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok. But rather than dismiss them, as demanded by the A.N.C., De Klerk appointed them to other Cabinet posts. De Klerk also fell short of satisfying demands for an independent inquiry. The President did, however, invite prospective witnesses to alleged police misconduct against...
...Durban gathering turns into a factional face-off, the hard-liners will probably come out on top. Growing increasingly shrill, the A.N.C. issued demands last April that De Klerk was certain to refuse, such as the firing of Defense Minister Magnus Malan and Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok. Though himself a moderate and the movement's peacemaker, Mandela last week sided with hard-liners by flatly declaring as nonnegotiable the A.N.C.'s requirement that an elected constituent assembly, rather than leaders of political parties, draw up a new constitution...
