Probably the best opportunity to learn about the issues dividing that nation will be a talk given this Sunday by Donald Woods, a South African journalist who is currently at Harvard as a Nieman Fellow. Woods was banned last year by the government of South Africa for his anti-apartheid writings but he managed to escape from the country some months later. Woods will appear at 8 p.m. in the Leverett Dining Hall...
...months ago in the form of a heart attack. Now, after three nights of sold-out adulation and guffaw at Long Island's Westbury Music Fair, he leans forward from his French Colonial chair in Manhattan's chic Pierre Hotel--he is surrounded by the stuff of decadence--and talks in his familiar streetguy talk, as he must have talked to the neighborhood kids in White Harlem 25 years ago, airing not so much as a hint of malcontent or overindulgence...

The labored effort to reproduce Malory's diction is a disaster. Horses are "sore thirsty," kings are "some vexed," lusty knights "swyve" damsels, addressed elsewhere as "chicks." Launcelot is said to have "filled a need for the queen," a disheartening summation of one of the world's most fabled love...
