A rock legend unto herself
Article Abstract:
Monika Dannemann, who committed suicide recently, came to public attention as one of the two girlfriends of rock star Jimi Hendrix in the 1960s. She claims that she had an 18-month relationship with him and that they became engaged. This gave her star status, but she was the subject of some controversy, particularly relating to the circumstances surrounding the death of Hendrix. She was also embroiled for many years in a bitter dispute with Kathy Etchingham, also a former girlfriend of Hendrix and who rejects many of Danneman's claims about the rock star's life.

Divisions of the past still cloud the rainbow nation
Article Abstract:
There is still a great deal of disguised racism and some overt racism in South Africa, even though white minority rule has officially been abolished. White South Africans are now being increasingly forced to recognise the existence of blacks, and many are responding by retreating into their increasingly fortified homes. Society is still deeply divided between black and white, and it is very unusual for blacks to take on roles which are traditionally associated with whites.

No abortions please, we're Guernsey
Article Abstract:
It is still illegal to terminate an unwanted pregnancy on the island of Guernsey, where doing so can bring a jail sentence of three years. The pro-life movement on the island is being advised by Cynthia Kennedy, a former leading figure in the American Right to Life movement, while the pro-choice campaign is bringing in influential supporters such as Claire Rayner. The battle is likely to become even fiercer in the run-up to a vote on the issue in early 1996.
