...expresidents and the like, and finally settling into a long, bitter description of the servility of black workers in a Ford motors plant and the frenzied preparations in the plant when Henry Ford descended from rich mythical America for a visit. There is a swift transition to the play proper one of Styles's customers, Sizwe Banzi, is desparately trying to find a way to stay in white Port Elizabeth beyond his permitted time.

Where the visitor sits in an office is crucial. If the host seats him directly across his desk at A (see top diagram), it means the host is ready to make a deal. The visitor should then move his chair to B, encroaching on the host's space. If the host is trying to evade a deal...

A man making less than $50,000 should carry only an old, battered two-handle briefcase. A thin leather portfolio is proper between $50,000 and $100,000. A man who makes more than that should not carry a briefcase...
