...startling reversal for Byrne, who had pledged her support to Washington the day after losing to him in the primary and as late as March 1 scoffed that a write-in campaign "couldn't be done." Though there were grim cracks that she had launched a "white-in" campaign, Byrne stoutly insisted that her decision "has nothing to do with race. I'm not running for blacks or whites or the Democratic Party or the Republican Party or any political organization. I'm running for Chicago."

King Kong was an instant hit, and played before 120,000 persons-two-thirds of them white-in Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth, and Cape Town. Then, as now in London, heavyweight Jazz Singer Nathan M'dledle (pronounced Muh-dead-ly) played "the King." His girl was played by Miriam Makeba, whose success in the role catapulted her to solo spots in U.S. nightclubs; she has been replaced in the opera...
