Brutal Talk. The Secretary did not find many opportunities for jocularity in his attempt to head off by negotiation the racial Armageddon that seems to be looming in southern Africa. Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere had announced that he was not "particularly encouraged" by Kissinger's mission. Zambia's President Kenneth Kaunda had declared that Kissinger might have "only a few days, not weeks," to succeed in averting a black-white...
Kissinger's shuttle got off to an inauspicious beginning last week when he landed at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. On arrival, he found the Tanzanian government less receptive to his mission than he had hoped. Student demonstrators, obviously acting with government acquiescence, greeted the Secretary with signs branding him a "cynical murderer."

In truth, the disunity among Rhodesian blacks is almost as big an impediment to majority rule as Ian Smith's intransigence. In the end the five presidents could only agree that the guerrilla war should be "intensified," but, on the other hand, they had no objection to a Kissinger...
...them. Later he told newsmen that he had been invited to visit Dar es Salaam on his forthcoming shuttle. A Tanzanian spokesman put it somewhat differently: "He asked to come, and we said, 'All right, come along.' " Despite his minor gaffe, Kissinger will obviously be welcome in Tanzania, as well as Zambia, the most important stops on his current trip. From there, he will go to South Africa to see Vorster again...
