Before the lecture, Minter showed a 26-minute video entitled "Killing a Dream." The film focused on the South African government's support of RENAMO, the Mozambican resistance organization which Minter said terrorizes rural Mozambique in order to topple the nation's government. The film included candid footage of Mozambican villagers who had been multilated by RENAMO's armed supporters...
...their respective supporters. Says Charles Douglas, a former New Hampshire Supreme Court justice and a Kemp supporter: "It's the difference between those who buy their clothes at Sears and those who go to Brooks Brothers." If Dole represents Main Street, Bush personifies Wall Street. Dole's roots are rural; Bush's are suburban country club.

On Christmas the International Red Cross halted airlifts from Maputo to rural villages after Renamo threatened to shoot down the planes. Land routes are hardly safer. More than 400 people were killed in ambushes on the main road from Maputo to the north in the past three months alone. Traveling in convoys guarded by ill-equipped Frelimo troops, relief vehicles are easy prey. Fifteen CARE drivers and assistants have lost their lives since 1984. Driver...
