...authentically tribal in outlook as Zulus living in a homeland kraal. Afrikaner society is a rigid one, held together by language (Dutch-based), faith (a fundamentalist form of Calvinism) and a sense of special mission created by their hard history. Even in the large cities, Afrikaners tend to mix uneasily with English-speaking whites. In the country, they are a law and a people unto themselves. The family structure is strong and disciplined; Afrikaner youth are far less likely than their Anglo counterparts to smoke or drink. Sunday is the Lord's day; sports, cinema and TV are forsworn...
...Tonight show, and more recently has been appearing on Saturday Night Live. Says Bill McEuen, Martin's longtime manager and boyhood friend: "We're trying to assess each move to make sure he doesn't become an instant cliché."

Citizens in Amherst, Mass., have just begun a fight similar to the one Cambridge citizens waged last year to stop construction of P-3 laboratories for DNA research in Cambridge, while scientists at MIT and the University of Southern California at San Francisco surged ahead...
Since then my antagonism has been tempered greatly. This is precisely because I've come to realize that the finals clubs are most destructive not to those "left out" but to those who belong. Nothing helps personal development more than a "healthy" mix of peoples/backgrounds. The clubs, on the other hand, because of their de facto closed membership and the attitudes and atmosphere they engender, breed dullness, social complacency, general immaturity and the more obvious manifestations of pretentiousness...
