Many who claim to oppose violence say that the impetus for change in South Africa must come from peaceful, moderate groups of all races. Organized, multi-racial, non-violent resistance did exist at the beginning of the current phase of unrest in the form of the United Democratic Front (UDF), which represented millions of people in more than 600 community, church and political associations across South Africa.

Ortega may have dropped a lid on domestic unrest, but the move is not likely to help his attempts to win respect for the government abroad. This week he was to address the U.N. in Manhattan and possibly accept some invitations to speak around the U.S. The leader of the Sandinista revolution is likely to face...
...certain extent, Baker's moves have been dictated by necessity. He came to recognize that the Latin debtors needed more help than they were getting. It was hardly good policy to push austerity programs that fostered social unrest in Latin America at a time when the U.S. was fighting Communist- backed revolutionaries in the same area. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, contending that the monstrous debts pose a grave threat to South - America's democracies, has called for "the contemporary equivalent of the Marshall Plan." Kissinger praised Baker's plan as a "major departure," but cautioned, "I feel that...
