...including Angola, Zambia and Mozambique). Of these 61 million, only about 5 million are white ? and of these, 4.3 million live in South Africa. Before the independence of Angola and Mozambique changed the power balance in southern Africa, it was just conceivable that 274,000 Rhodesian whites could maintain their position indefinitely over the country's 6.1 million blacks, even though the whites were outnumbered 22 to 1. Thereafter it became a preposterous sham...
Carter advisers were concerned over the political fallout, but they should also worry about their own efficiency. Playboy insists that it agreed to allow the candidate or his aides to review the unedited transcripts of the taped interview-to correct factual errors, they maintain, but other interviewees have been allowed to make substantial changes.

They give a much smoother ride than a bike. Moreover, they are within almost anyone's budget, ranging from around $300 for the simplest model to more than $500 for one with all the trimmings, including telescopic front suspension, independent rear shock...
...Ford wins, predicted Sprinkel, he will continue to 1) reduce inflation, 2) create more jobs in the private sector, 3) "follow a stiff line" on increases in federal spending, 4) maintain a moderate rate of growth in the money supply, 5) avoid wage or price controls, and, perhaps, 6) propose a further tax cut. This program might take a while to produce more economic growth, but, Sprinkel says, would avoid the danger of spurring runaway inflation...
