...defendants in the espionage trial were hardly the most dangerous of spies. Ronald Humphrey, 42, emerged in the testimony as a naive, lovelorn officer in the U.S. Information Agency whose lawyer insisted he never meant to harm the U.S. although he delivered Government documents to a foreign agent. David Truong, 32, a Vietnamese peace activist, said he simply wanted to help effect a rapprochement between the U.S. and his homeland...

Suggestions that South Africa's blacks are so divided tribally that they could not rule their country are also misleading, he added, because over 50 per cent of the black population lives in cities, and the old tribal structures broke down many years...
