...leaders of the eight other bantustans seem fairly justified in their unanimous condemnation of Matanzima's decision to prostitute his people for the power Vorster's backing gives him. He defends the Transkei's independence, calling it an "epoch-making event that is the product of peaceful evolution and an orderly transfer of power to the people of the Transkei." But less than 45 per cent of the voters turned out in the recent election in those constituencies where there was a contest, a fact that does not suggest the people of the Transkei are exactly carried away with their...
...ACCORDING to The New York Times, the South African government has spent $500,000 on an international promotional campaign touting the Transkei as a free and democratic state, the product of its separate development policies. The philosophy of apartheid, as explained by South African Defense Minister James Kruger to Time magazine this summer, is actually rather simple: blacks and whites are different, and it makes sense to give them different land areas they can call their own. The Transkei is supposed to show the world that the South African government plans to live up to its word and give...
...inimical to our national interests. And, in making pay-offs to various politicians in the Japanese government, the company contributed to the corruption and subversion of the ruling party, on which the United States heavily relied.

Fallows' jump into the Carter camp is hardly his most dramatic political change-of-heart. He came to Harvard the product of a conservative, pro-Goldwater California town 70 miles east of Los Angeles, with the requisite chunk of Ayn Rand reading under his belt. "As (politically) juvenile as everybody else" in his class, he adds. He is not, he says now, embarrassed about his enthusiastic support of the Republican. Like many of his classmates Fallows soon was swept up by the anti-war movement. He recalls that he began to doubt the right-wing, pro-war legacy...
...South Africa's nine homelands, or tribal reserves assigned to blacks, the Transkei will thus remain a stepchild of the white-supremacy government of Pretoria. Though its gross national product ($120 million) and per capita income ($130) exceed those of a dozen independent African states, the figures are misleading. Three-quarters of the Transkei's annual operating budget is contributed by South Africa, and 70% of its national income consists of remittances from members of the Xhosa tribe who work "abroad"-in the mines, factories and farms of white South Africa -as migrant laborers. Admits a black civil...
