...When Miriam Hernandez, 17, graduates in June from Clark Magnet High School in La Crescenta, Calif., she will know how to build a computer network, which qualifies her for a job earning about $60,000 a year even before she attends California State University, Los Angeles, to continue studies she has begun in business.

Now that all citizens can, in theory, get the education once reserved for whites, a new, thoroughly African generation could rise to replace the white liberal warhorses of the struggle years. (Gordimer turns 82 this month, Fugard is 73, Brink 70, Coetzee 65.) Then...
...Dumplings”—shortened from a full-length movie of the same name—is by far the most graphically disgusting of the three. Mei (Bai Ling) smuggles aborted fetuses into Hong Kong to make age-defying culinary delicacies. Her customer is Mrs. Lee (Miriam Yeung), a retired actress who is desperate to regain her lost youth and stop her husband’s rampant cheating...
