Whites in control on isle of Bermuda
Bermuda reels after the slaying of Governor Sir Richard Sharples and his aide de camp, fueling widespread outrage and questions about racial power. Black leader Walter Robinson says Bermuda rejects the law of the jungle while noting underlying unrest and a sluggish push for integration in a system where whites hold most authority. Police scrutiny extends to linked killings as Britain’s Scotland Yard investigates possible connections amidst rising black militancy and regional Caribbean shifts toward greater black influence.
