...Indaba, a South African observer wroterecently, continues to define political rights inracial terms, and involves "the maintenance ofeconomic structures and political control by ahighly conservative alliance with scant regard fordemocratic processes." (14) In fact, it looks verymuch like the "elite conspiracy" to whichHuntington referred back in 1981, as the probablypreferred outcome for his government-imposedreforms. Here we have assorted elites, negotiatinga settlement to which they plan to hold theirfollowers.

Shunning all manner of wastefulness, they feed livestock not valuable grain but materials of little other value. Algae and other aquatic plants, for example, have become a major source of both fertilizer and feed...
...usual, James Ivory evokes the past -- in this case, Edwardian England -- prettily enough. But having achieved a personal best in A Room with a View, he reverts to form here. That means too reverential a regard for his literary sources (which in this minor case is unnecessary) and no respect at all for screen dynamics. He remains trapped in the same guilty spirit in which Forster wrote...
