Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu reflected on recent changes in race relations and urged continued efforts to help racial minorities during a two-day conference at Harvard Law School over the weekend...
...factions cross traditional boundaries of acceptable conduct. Mbeki is accused of using the national prosecutor's office against his adversary (as well as of intervening to prevent the prosecution of key allies), while Zuma's supporters threatened violence against those who stand in his way. Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has accused the ANC of betraying the promise of the Mandela years, and former apartheid President F.W. de Klerk, who also served as a deputy president under Mandela, charged it with repeatedly flouting the national constitution. Clearly, the unimpeachable political and moral authority enjoyed by the ANC under Mandela, thanks...
...trust. That trust wilted, thanks to ANC scandals over corruption, incompetence and abuse of power. The party is in no danger of losing power. But the days when it commanded widespread respect and spoke with purpose and clarity are long gone. After Mbeki's resignation, former Archbishop Desmond Tutu - alongside Mandela, the country's principal voice of conscience - said he was "deeply disturbed" at the way in which recent events showed that the nation "has been subordinated to a political party." Tutu noted, however, that "even the most powerful parties bite the dust at some point." The ANC will always...

The sartorial rules are strict: leotards must not stray into, god forbid, tutu territory. A brazen flash of a bra strap can even result in points subtracted from the gymnast's score.

This year, it's the bouncy ball that's missing. Rhythmic gymnastics is certainly mesmerizing, but Cirque de Soleil...
...still have the "meeting of continents" Tote Bag, the flyer for a "Turkish Blues Night" hosted by Istanbul, the key rings from many cities showing bridges and interlocking circles. I can remember Desmond Tutu bringing his irrepressible charm and authority to the cause of Cape Town, while flocks of bright young things tried to seduce us toward Osaka, Japan, or Paris or the "next great international city," Atlanta. One result of covering six Olympiads for this magazine was that I came to see that the real competition on display at any Olympic Games is not on the track...
