...Kruger's complaints about South African society today is that the English-language press is too free. He advocates a law that would prevent publication of the names of people detained without trial under the security laws-a prospect that appalls white moderates. Kruger's proposal, they fear, could transform South Africa from a police state into a secret police state...
...last week for the Sixth International Congress of the Transplantation Society, some of the loudest applause was given not to a physician but to a philosophy professor from Indianapolis. In 1959 the man, John Riteris, now in his early 40s, was stricken by severe kidney disease. Faced with the prospect of imminent death-or dismal years on a kidney machine-he agreed to what was then still a highly experimental treatment: replacement of his dying kidneys with one donated by his twin brother.

The opposition that he evokes from the conservatives in the Republican Party makes him an unlikely prospect for a future national ticket, but Richardson has no doubt about remaining a Republican anyway. Says he: "I believe in a two-party system, and if people like me don't stick with it, no matter how rocky the fortunes of the party, we aren't going...
