...phrase "affirmative action" covers a large set of different individual programs. Originally it included programs to encourage applications from women and minorities who otherwise might not have applied. Affirmative action meant wide advertisement of opportunities to insure that prospective minority applicants had adequate information. It meant searching in previously overlooked areas for well-qualified minority group members and working to improve the qualifications of all those who remained underqualified, regardless of their race, sex or ethnic background.

Brown-Beasley seems to like this phrase; he says it again before lifting the memory "drive," which looks like a stack of records inside a plastic cylinder, out of the machine and switching it off. He has officiated at several rites in the machine's inception--for instance, he had to build a "click" into the machine...
