...considering even the most minor relaxations, Prime Minister John Vorster must still take into account his Nationalist Party's dwindling but vocal right wing, known as the verkramptes (cramped ones). Vorster, 55, a cautious pragmatist during his five years in office, has already adopted a successful "outward-looking" foreign policy of providing trade and aid to black African states.

While he was Minister...
...boss Enver Hoxha sided with the Chinese against the Soviet revisionists. But ever since Albania has been China's sole friend in Europe. And for the last decade it has been as angry and insulated as Peking itself. Now, following China's lead, Albania is gradually looking outward. It has established trade and diplomatic relations with its long-estranged neighbors, Greece and Yugoslavia, and an expanding list of other West European nations. It is even building a few tourist hotels for those who want to view socialism in the raw. Most Americans are still barred, but TIME...
