...window-dressing, a source of legitimation for the socially retrograde shareholding activities of the Harvard Corporation. Especially this year, when Harvard students for the first time in five years have taken a mass-based stand on a social issue involved in shareholding--the issue of U.S. investment in white supremacist South Africa--Harvard students must elect a progressive undergraduate representative who is willing to act as a vocal advocate of a complete reform of the ACSR...
...play would be a smash hit if the war in Vietnam was still being fought and if Harvard students were still agonizing over decisions about whether to fight or flee to Canada as conscientious objectors. For Thoreau is jailed because he objects to a white supremacist war being carried out by a fanatic president hell-bent on conquering an innocent people for its own glorification-a war Ulysses S.

Whether Smith survives at all, in fact, may very well depend on South Africa's Prime Minister John Vorster, his old white-supremacist ally. Vorster is himself under increasing pressure to find an equitable solution to Pretoria's jurisdiction over the disputed territory of South West Africa (Namibia) and to assuage his own black majority.

"Think of how they are portrayed in my films: all vain, arrogant and stupid, real chauvinists who believe...
Saintly people who focus attention on oppression can expect to pay for their actions. In South Africa, criticism of the country's racist policies has brought a harsh punishment to Dutch Reformed Minister C.F. Beyers Naude. Pastor Naude, now 60, was a prominent, rising churchman and Afrikaner supremacist until the 1960 Sharpeville massacre prodded his conscience. He forthwith set to work to destroy his church's theological approval of apartheid. Naude is now barred from the pulpit, ostracized, harassed by government prosecutors and denied his passport. Still, he says that being an outsider in his own society...
