...policeman warned news reporters: "If you're going to be on the street, get a helmet." But I don't even plan to wear my hat. A lot of demonstrators are expected across the street from the Garden in front of the post office, including thousands of Right To Lifers. Since they are in favor of right to life, I guess they will not endanger mine...
...dressed fit to kill (literally), and when you take a closer look, you're not certain all of them are women. But they're friendly enough-they keep asking: "Wanna go out? Wanna party?"

Only a special $300,000 contribution from General Motors Corp. enabled the N.A.A.C.P. to post a $262,000 bond in order to appeal the state court's ruling...
Most residents are doomed to obscure jobs in Johannesburg, where they must face apartheid constantly and always carry the "reference book" that Soweto-born Poet Mtshali calls "the document of my existence." These passbooks−which must be produced, on threat of jail, whenever a policeman demands one−include photographs, place of residence, employer, taxes paid and special curfew privileges if any. The average black salary in Johannesburg is $140 a month, only slightly more than the cost of living for a family of five in the box houses of Soweto. Average white salaries, in contrast, are at least...
