Until now, Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder has been the most visible noncandidate, crisscrossing the country giving speeches, wooing deep pockets in Hollywood and devising a catchy slogan -- "the New Mainstream."

Learn! -- echoes the mixed signals that A.N.C. leaders are sending to the youth. Mandela has been urging them to go back to school, but the A.N.C. still employs young students in boycotts that keep them in the streets...
