Daniel's Passage. His assurances were hardly enough. A Colored who becomes a card-carrying white must uproot himself and his family from home, job, friends and kin to enter a world in which he may never be fully accepted. In one recent case, Edward Raubenheimer, a relatively well-to-do Cape Town Colored school principal, learned that his older, less successful brother Daniel had been reclassified as white at age 67. White status was simultaneously conferred on Daniel's wife, who is the daughter of a Colored woman and a white salesman, and their four children...

At 21 he was convicted of his first attempt at armed robbery and sent off to serve his only long stretch in prison-nine years in various Indiana prisons. Then he was paroled. In the next 13 months, he built the legend that still clings to his name...
