A splendid counterpoint to the Firing Line Special on South Africa (#FLS104). Since the guests on this show are considerably closer to one another politically, we don't get the fireworks that the Special offered, but we do get a solid grounding for the American audience. Mr. Welsh's opening question sets the tone: "Now, Mr. Buckley, I'd like to ask you whether, in general, the American public knows that there is quite a live, vital, liberal opposition to apartheid in South Africa by whites." Mr. de Beer: "I submit to you that what unites black people in South Africa today is the common experience of oppression, and the day they cease to be oppressed, they will be at least as fragmented among themselves as the white people are now." ... Mr. Worrall: "Democracy is a very delicate plant. We know this. I mean, South America, much of Asia-democracy hasn't grown easily. We're fortunate in South Africa in this respect, that we have certain advantages. We have a parliamentary tradition which is very well established. We have a very well developed legal system, a proud legal system, an excellent judiciary with independent judges. And we have a reasonably highly developed economy by African standards. So those are all factors that work in favor of democracy."
