Mitterand: Now, P.W., relax. We can't openly support you. We'd blow our cover and unveil the real reason we're interested in South Africa--a cheaper labor supply than we'll ever find in this grape-infested country. The best thing we can do is wait it out. Remember what that U.S. State Department official said: "Sharpville blew over, and Soweto blew over, and even though this is worse, there's nowhere it can really...
