...buses or taxis, to use white public restrooms, attend white churches, send their children to white schools, even to sit on park benches bearing the insulting words Slegs vir blankes (For whites only). They may spend their money in white stores and invest in the stock market, but to mail a letter they must enter the post office through a separate door and buy their stamps at a separate window. "South Africa," says Laurence Gandar, editor in chief of Johannesburg's Rand Daily Mail, "is a nation that has lost...
...white immigrants in newspapers throughout Europe, attracts more than 3,000 a month. Its propaganda organs beat the drums for "more white babies." Last month a Cape Town scientist declared that, with proper training, baboons could replace Africans in menial tasks-a suggestion that led the Rand Daily Mail to quip that Verwoerd would soon offer them their own Baboonstan. But so hungry is the nation for manpower that employers everywhere are forced to give non-whites ever more and ever better jobs...

This seemed wrong to the commission, which pointed out that the average British manufacturer earns only...
...worked miraculously. Last week Morton reported that he was down to 18 inches of mail a day, "and there's very little junk in it." Even so, some publicity men have persisted. When Morton sent them bills as promised, Delta Airlines paid up. But when Publicist John Grouse refused, Morton took his $31 tab to small-claims court. There, to almost everyone's surprise, Judge Martin Shachat rejected Grouse's plea of accepted and traditional practice, ordered him to pay Morton's bill on the grounds that the letter had clearly and quite legitimately redefined that...
