NEW YORK (AP) - Practicing late-night
diplomacy halfway around the world, Ted Koppel
and. "Nightline" got prominent officials on both
sides of the apartheid issue together on the same
program - a television dialogue that South
African viewers had never witnessed before.
In an unprecedented move, the state-run South
African Broadcasting Corp. carried the policy
clash between Foreign Minister R.F. Botha and
Nobel Peace Laureate Bishop Desmond Tutu. The
Monday debate was part of a weeklong series of
broadcasts from South Africa on ABC's
"Nightline."
"WHAT'S UNIQUE and unprecedented is that
these government officials, for the first time in
their lives and in sight of a South African audien-
ce, are interacting with adversaries and critics,"
Koppel said in a telephone interview with The

vote in his own country. "His heart-felt comments
have been quoted back to me already so many
times," said Koppel.
Koppel said the government had not placed any
restrictions on ABC's reporting efforts, except
that jailed opposition leader Nelson Mandella was
not made available to "Nightline." In addition,
South African President P.W. Botha would agree
only to a taped interview; he would not do it in
debate format. His interview will be show
tomorrow.
Kenneth Walker, a "Nightline" correspondent
who is black, was not experiencing any reporting
obstacles or hostility, Koppel said. "I know it's an
extraordinary distinction, but if you're not white
but from another country, you're designated here
as an honorary white man."

water and iron were involved in the
chemical reaction sparking the toxic
leak.
The exact source of the water was not
known, he said.
The water, which generated the
dangerously high temperatures, reac-

DAVID EVANS of Quinn Evans Ar-
chitects, who designed the addition,
said the driveway could not be widened
because the landscaping the planning
commission wants near the house
would not fit.
Adequate parking was also an issue
with the Planning Commission and the
neighbors: Currently the plan calls for
13 spaces but this violates two zoning
codes.
One law states that cars should not
come within 10 feet of a house in case a
v i
car explodes and burns. However, a fire
department spokesman told the board
before the meeting that the cars would
not be close enough to the house to be a
hazard.
ANOTH.ER zoning law says a 15-foot
space between properties, which is
called a "bumper," is required in
residential areas.
"I object to the parking because there
is no adequate turnaround in the lot,
whichemeans trucks have to back out
into the street," said Van Houweling.
Since the zoning board rejected the
sorority's plans, the group now has to
go back to the planning commission
with a revised addition plan.
Anderson said the safety lapses were
