Last week, in a 7 to 2 decision, the Supreme Court sidestepped the constitutional problems in the case, but it dealt what dissenting Justice Thurgood Marshall called "a fatal blow" to most of the means of enforcing the Civil Rights Act in religious cases.

...would be different, perhaps, if Trilling pulled the reader along, meeting arguments, persuading one to see the logic behind her position. But because her positions rest so completely on assumptions and faith, Trilling can only deal with disagreement as the church once dealt with heretics; quarrels over her conclusions rapidly degenerate to the level of medieval clerics hurling epithets.

The ACSR felt that the issues of withdrawal or non-expansion are best dealt with on a company-by-company basis. As Ratner points out, "a few corporations have aggressively challenged apartheid regulations," and these the ACSR feels can often be a positive force for change in South Africa. Other factors the ACSR has considered are employment policies, nature of business (e.g., mining as opposed...
