...anchored in Vanikoro's lagoon and sped in inflatable outboards to the wreck site. In the afternoons, they returned laden with artifacts that included part of a shoe, Chinese ceramics, a dragoon's brass helmet and thousands of glass necklace beads probably intended as items of barter for Pacific tribal chieftains...

Blacks learned that Botha's act on July 1 abolishing the pass laws that restrict the movement of blacks within the country did not end restrictions on the 4 million blacks in South Africa who are technically residents of four tribal homelands that chose to become so-called independent states: Transkei, Ciskei, Bophuthatswana and Venda.

In short, this will probably be the best Phil Collins album ever made...

The widespread search was remarkably successful. Most of those who arrived in Amsterdam were clad in Western-style suits and sport shirts, some in tribal costumes, and they sang and spoke in a Babel of tongues.
