...Even as the raiding parties were carrying out their missions, a Commonwealth negotiating team arrived in Cape Town following talks with A.N.C. leaders in Lusaka. They were trying to set up a negotiating link between Pretoria and the A.N.C. Though the Commonwealth team's leaders, onetime Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser and former Nigerian Head of State Olusegun Obasanjo, were reluctant to admit it, their mission had been all but destroyed by the cross-border raids.

In his 1977 book Christ and the Media, Muggeridge spins a fantasy in which Jesus, having survived the three temptations in the wilderness, is offered a fourth: a contract from Lucifer Inc. to go to Rome and anchor a First-Century network variety show.
