...Union, South Africa needs help. The economy, once Africa's strongest (in spite of the horrendously inefficient apartheid system) is reeling under the blows of Western economic sanctions, Western divestment, desertion by South African capital and skilled professionals, and a population growth rate that far outstrips growth in the gross rational product...
...spate of reports last week traced the powerful riptides that continue to buffet the economy. The Commerce Department said the gross domestic product grew at a microscopic annual rate of 0.4% in the fourth quarter last year, only half as much as the previous estimate.

While Pacino will work for $1,000 a week in a nonprofit house, some stars command up to 10% of box-office gross, as much as $20,000 a week. For many, the choice is artistic. They want | to play classic roles, work with particular directors or co-stars, or demonstrate talent in a way films do not allow. Baldwin, for example, spurned a reported $1 million for a sequel to The Hunt...
