...before I publicly embarrass all you guys n' gals in print, it's time first to declare the co-winners of the Sports Cube Disk Frisk Treasure Chest of Prizes. They are Ed "Don't Bug Me, I've Got My Radio On" Minar of Quincy House and Wendy Anne "Put Number G-18 on, Mac" King of Cambridge. Both over-grown teenagers scored an astonishing 94 correct answers out of 105. As a result, Aronson and I are currently trying to get this Top 40 match made in heaven together...

The statement suggests considerable political naivete: why embarrass such men as Vance and Brzezinski, advisers to Kennedy and Johnson and experts on whom Carter is leaning for advice...
White officials took the line that the disorders were primarily fomented by agitators seeking to embarrass Prime Minister John Vorster on the eve of his talks with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in West Germany. That the riots damaged Vorster's cultivated image as the statesman of segregation seemed clear enough. Nonetheless, Vorster remains the only key to solving the growing racial conflict in neighboring Rhodesia. Thus Kissinger went ahead with the meeting-as he put it earlier-"to see whether South Africa would be willing to contribute to a moderate and peaceful evolution of events in southern Africa...
