...Transvaal, stronghold of the most intransigent white supremacists, a long-simmering quarrel between Vorster and the archreactionaries has burst into the open. Super-Segregationist Dr. Albert Hertzog, 70, expelled from the party last month, will formally launch a new political union this week-the Christian National Party-to challenge the Nationalists. For nearly 40 years, Hertzog has worked for apartheid. As he told 2,000 yelling, stamping followers in Pretoria, the Transvaal capital: "Die stryd duur voort"-the fight goes on. "I was expelled," he said, "not because I deviated from party principles but because I wanted to maintain...
...embraced the heretical belief that South Africa should change its policy of all-out separation from the black African states to the north. His "outward-looking" policy, built on Verwoerd's first gestures in this direction, has succeeded in creating an odd but effective trade grouping, of white-and black-ruled states in southern Africa: Lesotho, Botswana, Swaziland, Malawi, Rhodesia and the Portuguese territories of Mozambique and Angola. Overtures have been made, moreover, to other black republics...
Vorster has encouraged immigration from Europe at the rate of 50,000 a year to keep white South Africa from being totally submerged by blacks. The right-wingers complain, however, that the newcomers, mostly Southern European Catholics, will soon outnumber the Dutch-descended, Afrikaans-speaking Calvinists, who have increasingly dominated South African politics since the 1930s. In any event, Vorster's immigration effort seems doomed. Current projections indicate that by the year 2000, there will be 70 nonwhites to every white in South Africa. Even today, white South Africans total only 3,600,000, compared with 13 million blacks...
...laid out for burial in Italy. The license plate on a parked Volkswagen reads "281F," meaning that Paul would have been 28 if he had lived. On the second album cover, Magical Mystery Tour (1967), Gibb found an equally arcane message; Paul is dressed in black, the others in white; an inside picture shows Paul as a soldier above a sign reading "I Was You"; the back cover shows him wearing a black flower-the other three have red ones-alongside a funeral wreath. For a final tipoff, Gibb recalled a McCartney look-alike contest held two years...
...recent seasons, the guilt peddlers have brought the following wares to the dramatic market: The Deputy, The Investigation, Incident at Vichy, Soldiers, The Man in the Glass Booth, The Great White Hope, In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer and now Indians. These plays have much in common. While an occasional effort is made to specify some individual responsibility for crimes, oppressions, injustices, and atrocities, the dominating j'accuse is hurled at the audience. The audience is presumed to be collectively guilty of every misdeed in recorded history. This is patently absurd. By embracing the abstraction of collective guilt...
