...CONTINUING TO stall for time in a situation in which delay is on the side of Bishop Abel Muzorewa--head of the ANC's more militant "external faction"--Smith has probably destroyed the last chance for the peaceful installation of a majority regime. He has driven even the most moderate black leaders into Muzorewa's camp. Nationalist guerilla attacks from Mozambique and Zambia on Rhodesian forces have been intensifying steadily, white emigration has been increasing and the national economy is severely hampered by a lack of foreign exchange owing to United Nations sanctions. Barring massive outside aid from...
...Rhodesian leaders. In fact the meeting, held in a white railway car perched on a bridge 310 ft. above the Zambezi River and overlooking thundering Victoria Falls, was spread over 14 hours. While it came to nothing, there was one consolation for Smith's foes. Mused Bishop Abel Muzorewa, head of the African National Council that claims to speak for Rhodesia's 5.8 million blacks: "It was the longest 30 minutes of Mr. Smith's life...

The editors reserved some of their highest praise for German Theologian Jürgen Moltmann, a Reformed thinker whom they call...
Night Terror. Smith remains publicly confident, while privately he is negotiating with Bishop Abel Muzorewa, moderate chairman of the African National Council, Rhodesia's largest recognized black political organization. Smith acknowledges that majority rule must come to Rhodesia, but his timetable is nothing like Muzorewa's. The bishop is reportedly willing to wait ten years or so. Smith wants blacks to hold off another 60 to 75 years. The bishop has warned that unless the regime negotiates with him in better faith, Smith may eventually be forced to talk terms with the infinitely more intransigent ZANU instead. That...
