...theory, an argument could perhaps be made for a homelands policy???but not as the South African government has designed it. If every black in South Africa were to move to his ancestral homeland, 70% of the population would be packed into 13% of the land, much of it arid and unprofitable.

...apparently intent on showing how knowledgeable they were, both candidates threw out briefing-book statistics in baffling profusion. But, unlike John Kennedy, they rarely marshaled the numbers to establish a more general point. The questioning from the panel of reporters concentrated heavily on taxes, budget balancing and economic policy???vital but dry topics...
