...made a deal with the French Rothschild bankers, who are partners in his Paris consulting branch, to set up a company that will offer computer services to French firms. He is also conducting a course for executives of 90 major U.S. and European companies in the long-range impact of information technology on business (his total fee: $1,000,000), and is negotiating with the government of an East European satellite to teach its managers U.S. business techniques.

Inevitably, the odd interracial couple has a run-in with the local Nazi Afrikaner corps, blond and stolid beasts who are decently venal enough to be bought off. Dore Schary, the old Message Pilot of MGM, has directed The Zulu and the Zayda in a spirit of brotherhood that pretty effectively squelches any possible dramatic conflict...
