...rights." In a new interracial group called Women for Peace, Afrikaners have started a continuing dialogue with blacks, discussing their problems and busing in children from the black townships to play with their own. Another group of women, most of them white, called the Black Sash, has demonstrated against "unjust" laws for many years and runs advice offices to help Africans who run afoul of the pass laws (the regulations that require blacks to carry identity papers at all times and restrict their movements).

...scenario of The Idiot is bleak. As Iggy sings in "Baby," "We're walking down the/Street of chance/Where the chance is always/Slim or none/And the intentions unjust." Iggy seeks escape in the arms of "Tiny Girls," but he cannot find innocence. He is tempted by death and unredeemed by love, entangled by illusions which prove to be not just one mirror of his desires, but a veritable Versailles of them, gleaming and arching to infinity.
