...paramount issue at the Singapore meeting of Commonwealth leaders was Britain's intention to resume arms sales to the white-supremacist regime of South Africa. At one point during the debate, the heads of delegations from the 31 Commonwealth nations left their huge elliptical conference table and retired to a basement room, locking the doors to all aides. There the heads of state threshed out the highly charged issue. They reached grudging agreement on a compromise, but then, in an atmosphere that one participant described as "unbelievably emotional and bitter," redebated it during the formal session until...

...even in Singapore's muggy 85° weather, the chill was noticeable. Angry Black African members have vowed that they will pull out of the Commonwealth if Britain's Conservative government goes through with its announced plan to resume arms sales to South Africa's white-supremacist regime. In reply, Britain's Prime Minister Edward Heath rose in Singapore's harbor-front Convention Hall and declared bluntly that no member had the right "to sit in final judgment of the policies and the actions" of another.

...prototypical Don Juan was proposed in legend as the enemy of God, and Translator Kenneth Cavender uses this phrase as the play's subtitle, instead of Moliere's "The Feast of the Statue." Brustein goes further, presenting the Don as not merely a sex-obsessed boudoir-supremacist womanizing his way to damnation, but as a supranatural embodiment of alienated man, offered up as an atoning sacrifice.

...circle with their covered wagons to defend themselves against attacks by native tribes. To their present-day descendants, it means turning increasingly to the repressive strictures of apartheid to protect themselves against the nonwhite majority. Five times since 1948, the electorate has gone into laager by returning the white-supremacist, Boer-dominated Nationalist government to power, each time with increased majorities. Last week, for the first time in 22 years, South Africa's voters took a short step back toward the moderate center...
