...American party--McCarthy has had less trouble getting press coverage than other minor party candidates, and may get as much as 5 per cent of the vote. He won't get elected, and probably won't even get any votes in the electoral college, but Democratic party spokesmen have said they are afraid the 5 per cent margin could be enough to defeat Carter in states where the main race is very close...

When a Russian pilot flew a MiG-25 to northern Japan last month and asked for political asylum in the U.S., CIA Director George Bush hailed the defection as an "intelligence bonanza." According to euphoric Pentagon spokesmen, an examination of the plane and interrogation of the pilot would yield vital secrets about Soviet air-weapons technology.

The homelands have become nothing more than cheap labor reserves for white-owned mines and industry, as anyone looking for a job must go outside the bantustans. The Transkei is not exceptional in the percentage of its assigned population that lives outside its border; only those who are too young, too old, or too sickly...

...attack was no accident. From the moment the two Catholic women began their peace marches-and particularly when they flew to the U.S. to appeal for an end to donations to the terrorists -Provisional I.R.A. spokesmen have denounced them as dupes of the British, "misguided" advocates who ignore police and army killings. Both have endured hecklers, obscene letters and death threats scrawled on walls. Then, just after the Turf Lodge meeting opened, word reached the already angry crowd that a British soldier had injured a pregnant woman with a plastic bullet. The eruption, Williams later conceded, was almost inevitable...
