Heiskell:

No. No, we weren't. We dealt mainly with the few newspaper people who were reasonably willing to express themselves. And Mrs. Suzman and the likes of her, i.e. those who believed in a gradual transition of power to the blacks. She's a very courageous lady. As I think I said, we saw the Bishop. I'd met him before when we gave him an honorary degree at Harvard.

Q:

Do you remember anything he told you at that point?

Heiskell:

It was more of a social. What they all told us is what they're still telling us, and that is that you can't get those Dutchmen to move. And that the English are nearly as bad.

Q:

Any other trips?

Heiskell:

I think I've been most everywhere in the world.

Q:

You've written, I have your list in front of you and you've written down Eastern Europe.

Heiskell:

Oh, that was rather adventurous trip that Marion, my wife, and I took with my daughter, since deceased, and with Marion's daughter whom you know.
