Under Verwoerd, South Africa will continue to stand alone on its continent as the only nation or colony that does not offer even a pretense of democratic rights to its black citizens.

"In South Africa," he proclaimed last week, "we are being carried forward as never before by the overwhelming current of inspired nationalism which has taken hold of our people.

United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther promised to set the date this week for a strike, unless the Big Three fatten their six-month-old offer of a two-year contract extension. At week's end Reuther himself rejoined the contract talks for the first time since June 1, and both sides appeared optimistic. But wildcat strikes also continued to spread.
