A Young Man she knew took her for a Nde turned off Ohio a dark Road and raped her. She had been out with him three or four times in the past several weeks. There was no Romance the said. They were just platonic of friends and then this terrible thing happened. She told me that about 70 per cent of All rapes that occur Are perpetrated by men who Are known to their victims i was amazed. My idea of rapist had always been some shadowy figure who jumped from behind a Bush or out of an Alley or climbed through a bedroom window. It never occurred to me that a Friend could be a Rapiel. Please Ann Tell me and others who read your column what women can do to protect themselves against this hideous thing.

South african policy j. I would like to comment on the current fad Amon the world s moralists that is i neighing against South Africa. It s interesting to ice so much moral outrage directed against South Africa for in less than desirable social system but the Liberal do goobers and their Lap dogs in the news Media Are really laying it on a bit thick Don t you think if you did t know any belter you would conclude from news reports that South Africa is the most repressive society m the world. While the current crop of liberals is cheer leading against oppression in South Africa they conveniently Overlook the really big time oppressors of the 20th Century the soviet Union red China North Korea Vietnam Cuba and All the Squal id socialist countries of Eastern Europe. South Africa has not conducted mass starvation of millions of its citizens As did the soviet Union in the Ukraine in the 1930s, and As it currently occurring i Ethiopia. There Are no South african soldiers in Afghanistan no South african occupiers of Cambodia and Laos no South african soldiers deployed along its Borders Kab fashion to keep its own citizens  Are no Concrete Walls and minefields to Dis Suade White or Black South africans from fleeing to the workers Paradise of neighbouring marxist dominated countries. In fact South Africa is the Only sub saharan Afri can country where people constantly try to get in most for the economic Opportunity Many As marxist revolutionaries trying to overthrow the government. And we hear the drumbeat of accusation of government sponsored murder. A Lilette research reveal that the vast majority of violent deaths of Black and mixed race South africans occurs not because of any government action but As a result of inter tribal feuding and various other political disputes. But then inter tribal feuding has been the Rule rather than the exception in Africa Long before dutch settlers came to the South. But the liberals in their quest to be compassion ate and to do the right thing bowl for disinvestment and economic sanctions against South Africa As if compounding Mack unemployment there will solve anything. It will accelerate unrest and Speed the country toward the tender Rule of the marxist Africa National Congress. If we applied the same human rights criteria across the Board to All countries we Trade with As the liberals would have us apply to South Africa we would exclude a Large portion of the world s Popula Tion. What really iced the Cale for me is a recent nation Al news commentator s comparison of Nelson Man Dela with Martin Luther King now King was 8 non violent Man of peace whose Only crimes were tomcat at lunch counters ride in Public transportation and Lead some peaceful marches. Mandela on theother hand is a convicted multiple murderer who is a professed communist revolutionary. To make that invidious comparison for National consumption was one of the most irresponsible things i have seen a National news network Perpe trate. And if i was a Black american 1 would be More than a Little offended. Unfortunately in their quest to do All the wrong things for All the right reasons Liberal critics of South Africa would have the Public Swallow thai Type of comparison to attain their ends. The problem is there arc a lot of people who will actually believe that kind of thing. Since it Only took from the mid-17tb Century to themed both Century for the United slates to get its racial affairs in some kind of order i really think theide right Cucui posturing of critics of South Africa is a. Bit overblown. Slavery was the order of the Day for most of that Lime in the United states slavery Only existed in South Africa among some indigenous tribes and then Only sporadically not As National policy. If critics of South Africa Ore really interested in human rights and the quest for Freedom of oppression they should move their picket lines and shantytowns to soviet embassies and consulates around the world and cry for Trade embargoes against the True evil Empire of this world. La col. Charles r. Canon or. Val Hongen Germany the shocking refusal of president Reagan and sen ate republicans to agree to Lough sanctions against South Africa is morally bankrupt and personally humiliating to me As an american As americans the supposed leaders of the free world it is our responsibility to set the example forthe rest of the world. Do we set the example by Refus ing to interfere with the Economy of an avowed while super Mist state no in effect we show the world our grudging acceptance of the most racist world leaders since hitter. Conservative americans take pains to compare South Africa with the United slates 30 years ago. They say change has already begun and Progress will continue. I say whatever change has occurred is Inci dental. The whiles of South Africa will never willingly allow the Blacks to have the right to Vole. They real ize they Are greatly outnumbered. And they Are going to cling to their minority position with every weapon in their Arsenal press censorship police brutality an restrictions on people s rights to move about freely. The United Stales and Britain Are the Only two countries that have made a stand against Strong eco nomic sanctions. We say that by staying involved with South Africa we still have some influence. By pulling out and enforcing sanctions we will not have any influence. This reasoning is flawed even Stu pid. Our influence if in fact we have any has yet to yield any noteworthy results. Conditions in South Africa Are worse than Ever. How the Reagan administration can stand idly by and allow the racist Botha government to operate and Trade As usual is beyond me. As an american Iam totally disgusted with our policy of winking at the morally repugnant practice of apartheid. Anyone willing to continue business As usual with a country thai treats people of one race As socially and Politi Cally inferior is suspect when it comes to their own views about human Equality. It is time for us As americans to let our voices behead. We must let our president and his Senate Republican backers know that we demand Tough economic sanctions against South Africa. If the United Stales is to stand for anything around the world it must stand for Liberty and Equality. In this Lime of celebrating the anniversary of the statue of Liberty we should let our vision of Equality much As Liberty s Torch Burn brightly for All the world to see. American business in and Trade with South Africa must cease. Sgt Jeffrey a.
