...fact, none of the black nations to the north are nearly strong enough to rally their troops for invasion of the despised white stronghold on Africa's southern tip. It might come one day, but hardly soon. The psychosis of fear being whipped up by Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd's Afrikaner government was merely a reflection of its growing sense of isolation on a continent now virtually run by black Africans. Already. South African Airways has begun regular nonstop, 5,000-mile flights to Europe with its Boeing 707 jets, for the number of countries on the Dark...
World also presents illuminating forums, such as "Apartheid: Two Sides," which consisted of one-sentence utterances from Macmillan and South African Prime Minister Henrik Verwoerd. Its white hope at the moment is George Romney, and when it is not booming him World indulges in head-hunting. Recently it vituperatively attacked Sen.

But the government would still retain control over the Transkei's foreign affairs, defense, and justice. Many of the Xhosa themselves seemed happy enough; being largely illiterate, they were hardly aware of what the plan was all about. The protests will come from...
...were slipping in on Japanese coattails, at least at the swimming pools. "It would be extremely difficult for our gatekeepers to distinguish between Chinese and Japanese," admitted the chairman of the city council's Health and Amenities Committee. But as for the broader question of Chinese color status. Verwoerd's government was making no promises. It all recalled Hermann Göring's retort in 1934 when told that a favorite Munich art dealer was a non-Aryan: "I shall decide who is a Jew around here...
