...items and books all over the world. Zolar horoscopes range from $200 for a personal one down to $25 for a stock-market forecast in a plain envelope (ten choices on the New York and American exchanges), $15 for an overall look at next year and $10 for a natal chart.

A teacher at Natal's all-black Adams College, Luthuli first rose to world notice in 1952 by helping to organize a defiant but nonviolent campaign against South Africa's hated apartheid, to which the government reacted by stripping him of his Zulu tribal chieftainship, and finally, in 1959, virtually banishing him to his isolated farm, where...
