When South African Prime Minister Johannes Balthazar Vorster took office three years ago, he seemed the ideal man to continue the white supremacist ways of his predecessors-Johannes Strijdom, Daniel Malan and Hendrik Verwoerd. Grim and humorless, he had served five years as Minister of Justice and took credit for some of South Africa's harshest apartheid laws. To the ruling Nationalist Party, he was a hero, dedicated to preserving its policy of strict color separation. It is little short of amazing, then, that Vorster should now be under attack by Nationalist right-wingers as a dangerous liberal...

...country is a crossroads of racial bitterness. Black-nationalist guerrillas use it as a base for raids on the neighboring white supremacist regimes in Rhodesia and Southwest Africa. In turn, white agents infiltrate the country to spy on them.

Making two unsuccessful bids for the U.S. Congress, in 1946 and 1948, he ran as a white supremacist. In his federal courtroom, he seemed at first to be living down to his background. In one case, Negro plaintiffs sought the right to look at county voting records; a higher court had already ordered that such requests be honored as a matter of course. The course, in Clayton's court, ran four years, and was potholed by rulings like the one requiring documents to be redrawn because...
