...Bishop Abel Muzorewa, the principal black leader on the Executive Council, ridicules the idea of a round-table conference. He disclosed that the council is working on a new plan-something between an amnesty and a unilateral cease-fire-to induce the guerrillas to lay down their arms. The truth is, however, that one or two embarrassing cracks have already appeared in the two-month-old coalition, and it remains to be seen whether the government will be able to hold national elections as promised before the end of the year...
...survivors interviewed in Helsinki were of some help, particularly in reporting that the Soviet account of the incident, which suggested the casualties and damage to the plane were caused by the lake landing, was not the whole truth.

When this finally became apparent, Fälldin compounded the original error by failing to warn of the danger and take immediate strong action...
...moment, none of them was able to go so far in the direction of displaying reality as a collection of tiny, discrete stillnesses. Monet constructed a unified light, meaning and mood out of an accumulation of specific fragments, each the size of a brush mark. The unitary truth emerges from an infinity of facets...
