Malek found his wish come true in the form of a sagging tool manufacturing business in Orangeburg, South Carolina, called the Triangle Corporation. To this day Malek beams as he relates how he applied hard-nosed management techniques to turn a $1-million deficit into a $1-million profit in his few years in Orangeburg...
Holly Hill, Orangeburg, Columbia, Clinton-the exits along 1-26 in South Carolina loom in the muggy night like guideposts to ghost towns as the 1958 General Motors coach grinds west. Its odometer creaks past 620,000 miles.

Although nineteen policemen were indicted for the shootings, they were later acquitted, returned to duty, and promoted. It seems unlikely that the Jackson State cover-up will be broken and the guilty punished-especially since the Nixon administration has given unmistakable notice that it is not very interested in pushing investigations into murders of blacks by whites upon whom it is depending for reelection...
