...might have enough leverage to cause some real problems. They could demand an end to apartheid, call for universal suffrage, or, even worse, take control of their workplace by setting up worker delegations of their own. Not even the Soviets would touch that. Maybe I should just capitulate, release Nelson Mandela and head for Santa Barbara. Besides, sometimes I sort of feels sorry for those 22 million Blacks.

The likes of Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy all prove themselves agreeably capable of acting their age. Each of them has a following, which, taken together, could amount to a large audience. That's all right. One can think of adolescent fads a lot less cute than Lowe and his friends...
