...historic day that the nation's new executive council met for the first time to begin the process of ending white minority rule.

During an interim period, expected to begin within a matter of weeks, Smith will share executive authority with the three black leaders...
...borrowed for the occasion, Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and three moderate black leaders last week signed a document that was billed as the first formal step toward black majority rule for their country.
