...fascist government. One of the show's principal characters is an intelligent lawyer and family man, Erik Dorf (Michael Moriarty), who rises in the SS by dreaming up "legal" justifications for the Führer's extermination program. We also meet doctors, technicians and clergymen who lend their aid to the Nazi cause. These characters, like the famous Nazi leaders who appear (Eichmann, Heydrich, Himmler), are played without German accents by such skilled actors as David Warner, Robert Stephens, T.P. McKenna and Ian Holm. They, too, invite audience identification-and so force us to wonder whether we might...

"They wanted an important stake across the street from the White House," says one Washington banking executive, adding: "Some people might think it is important to know about the outstanding loans and balances of Government officials...
...Senate report identifies Citibank as one of eleven U.S. banks that have made most of the $2.2 billion in U.S. loans now outstanding to South Africa. Citibank did not trumpet its decision; it broke the news in a proxy statement to shareholders, quietly adding that it is continuing to lend "selectively, to constructive private sector activities that create jobs and which benefit all South Africans." It did not say what guidelines it would follow to make sure its loans achieved a multiracial purpose. Nonetheless, activist groups that have been pushing U.S. companies to get out of South Africa were happy...
