...impetus for the tutoring scheme came from Donald Davis, chairman of Stanley Works, the Connecticut-based toolmaker. In a visit to Poland in the early 1980s, says he, "I was overwhelmed by the lack of management know- how." Davis began organizing the program almost two years ago with the help of the International Executive Service Corps, which sends retired managers to help businesses in developing countries. Davis hopes to organize ten visiting-manager projects this year and as many...
...elegance -- carved laurels in a window casement, a Victorian turret, delicate porch columns -- that lend the scene the haunted air of a horror-movie set. At times the Inlet seems just a bad joke. Standing over one bunker-style housing & project is a billboard touting one of developer Donald Trump's two casinos: TRUMP CASTLE. WHERE BETTER IS NOT ENOUGH.

A black man, a gardener named Gordon Ngubene (Winston Ntshona), comes to his employer, Ben du Toit (Donald Sutherland), asking him to help find his son. The boy was taken into police custody during the Soweto protests of 1976 and has disappeared. Du Toit, a calm and rational man, believes this is surely just a bureaucratic muddle that can be easily ameliorated by a solid citizen's firm but polite intervention...
