- Love will find a way, it seems, to cross the harshest racial
- barriers. WILLEM DE KLERK, the younger son of South African
- President F.W. de Klerk, is reportedly engaged to ERICA ADAMS,
- who is of both white and black ancestry and is thus designated
- under apartheid as colored. Five years ago, their romance would
- have been a disgrace and possibly even a crime in South Africa.
- The couple, both 24, met as fellow students and have been
- dating for more than a year, though President de Klerk says he
- learned of the relationship only recently. But, the President
- added, he regards it "as a private family matter."
