SOUTH AFRICA: Ja for Verwoerd
(2 of 2)
"The beginning of a new era," crowed the Prime Minister, who promised that he would go in person to the Commonwealth Prime Ministers Conference in London early next year to plead South Africa's case for staying in the Commonwealth club. Anyway, he announced, he would not abolish formal allegiance to the Queen until a decent period had elapsed, to "let the grass grow over the wound."
* Ironically, one on the mailing list was David Pratt, who last April fired two shots into Verwoerd as the "symbol of apartheid," now is in a mental institution by court order.
