DEATH OF A DAILY.

This article presents information on the periodical "The Rand Daily Mail" that was closed as a result of casualties of the present upheaval in South Africa. The periodical is the renowned opponent of apartheid in the country. According to the author, it was not the government that closed the periodical but there more than 100 laws in the country that restrict the press. The controllers of the periodical were English speaking white business leaders, who often claim to oppose apartheid. He stated that in the mid-60s a new editor, Laurence Gandar, had moved the editorial page in a decisively more liberal direction, and increased the Mail's news coverage of African Americans and political affairs. The paper quickly came under government attack.
