...continent. Initially, the signs on the horizon were anything but auspicious. Only two months after the end of a bloody civil war in Angola, Rhodesia was already caught up in the first skirmishes of a racial showdown as black liberation movements geared up to bring down the white racist regime of Ian Smith. Such was the perceived failure of American policy over the years to provide any semblance of support for black African aspirations that three countries Kissinger hoped to visit-Mozambique, Nigeria and Ghana-refused to have...
...from Hollywood studios, the film stars Welles as Hank Quinlan, an obese, autocratic cop who frames his victims to ensure that the guilty do not escape punishment. Quinlan represents Welles's moral vision at its most complex and contradictory: on the one hand, he is a repulsive figure--brutal, racist, eats candy bars the way most people smoke cigarettes--and employs illegal methods; but on the other, he cares deeply about people, unlike his self-righteous and priggish antagonist, the Mexican detective Vargas (Charlton Heston) and is always right in his intuitions of guilt. The other characters in the film...
These recommendations betray an impressive ignorance of the role of U.S. companies in South Africa.

Blacks who agitate for political change lose their passes for "whites-only" areas, and are forced out of the industrialized areas of the country. IBM also supplies the computers for the South African military, much of which is geared toward...
...ATTACK ON A black freshman, Dennis J. Henderson '79, by seven white youths in the Maverick Square MBTA station last week, who chased Henderson out of the station, beating him and shouting racial epithets, brings home the problem of racist violence in the city of Boston. Like other incidents in Boston during recent weeks, the attack on Henderson was unprovoked; and as during other unwarranted attacks, no one present came to the aid of the victim...
...highest level, the blame for these random criminal acts must be affixed to the city's leaders--both to racists ostensibly representing the white community, like anti-busing leader Louise Day Hicks, who implicitly condones acts of violence; and to Mayor Kevin White, who ostensibly serves the entire city, and who has failed both to take a decisive stand in favor of implementing school desegregation laws, and to offer new measures to stamp out racist violence in Boston. We extend our sympathy to Dennis Henderson and to all others who have been victimized by racism in Boston...
