...proposal made last year by a subsidiary of Dallas' LTV Corp, to supply 24 MiG-21s for use by Navy pilots. About 5,000 MiG-21s have been built since their introduction in 1956, including some in countries other than the Soviet Union.

When ideology beckons, he recoils, resolving at last that he would rather reveal inhumanity poetically than revile it politically. "Tell the human story," he says, "and the propaganda will take care of itself." And when the Serpent Players, his all-black troupe of actors, are invited to perform privately before a privileged all-white audience, Fugard surprisingly accepts. But instead of the scheduled comedy...
