...Monday the trial of 16 prominent members of the United Democratic Front, a large antiapartheid movement, resumed. The treason case was said to be the country's biggest political trial since Nelson Mandela, leader of the outlawed African National Congress (A.N.C.), was imprisoned for life in 1964.
