...second question that I'd like to address is the question, should companies expand by investing in South Africa? I think the answer to that question should be no. The reason is that while the existing assets will be used, if not by us, then by others, it seems to me no reason to expand the assets and the wealth of the South African economy by investing now in view of the serious risks. Conditions will deteriorate in that country in the very near future, and those assets will be used to the detriment, rather than the benefit, of black...
...third question, which the ACSR has wrestled with, and which I have wrestled with as well, is, should we sell the stock? I think the answer to that question should be no. And the reasons are, or among the reasons are the following...
...share, and this is a personal view. I share the reservations about the use of economic leverage that were expressed in President Bok's recent open letter to the Harvard community. It is an act which is costly to Harvard, and while I would be happy to answer questions about the assessment of the costs of this policy, suffice it to say that we are talking about excluding, as a matter of policy, a set of companies which taken in the aggregate constitute roughly 46 per cent of the market value of the Standard & Poor's 500, which...

I would like to see us give this policy some continued opportunities to succeed. I think, if I had more time...

The perfectly realized vision of London as the decadent plaything of roving gangs turns macabre as Kubrick overlays Rossini, Beethoven, and Purcell music. Don't expect to leave feeling reassured or satisfied; Kubrick doesn't answer the questions he raises about society's right to curb individual freedoms when the individuals smash, batter and rape. Malcolm MacDowells's sympathetic portrayal of Alex, the sadistic and Beethoven-loving gang leader, knots the questions further. When conventional life becomes sanitized and pointless, who's to say violence...
