...post hospital burned down long ago. So did Officers' Quarters No. 5. But the 21 remaining limestone buildings at Fort Concho-the enlisted men's barracks, the two-story headquarters that dominates the parade ground, the officers' row-all glint beige-red in the West Texas sunset as they did 100 years...
...friend was silent, and a strange glint came into his eyes. "You're right," he said finally. It had happened before.

They represent the slow erosion of apartheid through the desegregation of U.S. firms and increased education for blacks. All these, Sullivan says with a glint in his eye, will be sponsored by U.S. corporations. Sullivan believes corporations should become the chief progressive force in South Africa, sponsoring special educational programs for black South Africans to develop the "educational infrastructure"--an area Sullivan emphasizes must be developed if blacks are ever to have the self-respect...
