...outright protest against and no overt interference with last week's registration effort. On the steps of Selma's courthouse, Sheriff Clark glowered across the square at the crowds of Negroes and snarled, "I'm nauseated." Selma's Circuit Judge James Hare, a plantation-bred racist, dolefully described the coming of the registrars as "the second Reconstruction."

Philip, however, did not say nothing. "I recognize," he remarked, "the impressions of many Africans about Rhodesia. But I think that...
...business and government leaders today fear that Australia's beneficent role as a major Asian power could be seriously diminished if other democratic nations such as Japan-which has now replaced Britain as Australia's biggest trading partner-come to resent the all-white continent as a racist preserve-which it is not. Declares Melbourne Mining Tycoon Sir Maurice Mawby: "We must live by geography today, not history...
