...what about the blacks in all this? Although the arguments are about them, they are sometimes almost overlooked as people. Blacks in South Africa have two different incarnations. First there are the blacks on the streets, in the shops, in the factories. Locked into their own form of narrow white tribalism, whites deal with the blacks, pay them, talk of them in cliches, but do not really see them.

Several weeks later, Harvard offered Gallagher only a part-time summer job--one that...
...hired by William Morris, fell upon hard times in Los Angeles and rose again on his Aunt Delia's recipe for guess-what. Thanks to salivating promotion, he is baking six tons of his Famous Amos cookies each week at a factory in Nutley, N.J., and his original shop on Sunset Boulevard; the chewy entremets are sold in bon ton stores from Bloomingdale's to Neiman-Marcus, J.L. Hudson's to Robinson...
