There are other, less dangerous but effective ways in which pressure can be brought to bear. The Administration can play a crucial role in accelerating the processes of change by increasing pressure on the U.S. corporations operating in South Africa. They must be compelled to play a far more active role in helping to remove the wails of discrimination in our country. Far too many of these corporations have spoken some very good words but continue to drag their feet when it comes to meeting their obligations, seemingly content to reap the profits extended to them by a system that...
...this global pressure can be brought to bear on South Africa, you will have played a responsible and creative role in averting a major disaster. What is more, you will have helped South Africans to find each other. Perhaps in time this country could become a shining example of brotherhood among the races and could play a decisive role in eradicating the true enemies of man in Africa-ignorance, disease and hunger.

Can this really be Simone Signoret, the stunning actress who won a 1959 Oscar for her role as Laurence Harvey's lover in Room at the Topi? Yes. Time is a carrion-eating bird, and this is what appears left of Signoret, 57, unrecognizable except for those cat's eyes. She is cast all too convincingly as a broken-down ex-hooker who squeezes out a living in a seedy quarter of Paris by being a foster grandmother...
