...bloody revolution! If those miners strike, they might have enough leverage to cause some real problems. They could demand an end to apartheid, call for universal suffrage, or, even worse, take control of their workplace by setting up worker delegations of their own. Not even the Soviets would touch that. Maybe I should just capitulate, release Nelson Mandela and head for Santa Barbara. Besides, sometimes I sort of feels sorry for those 22 million Blacks.

It did not seem the sort of material Steven Spielberg would touch with a ten-foot wand. Which is precisely why he went for it. "The Color Purple is the biggest challenge of my career," he proclaims. "When I read it I loved it; I cried and cried at the end. But I didn't think I would ever develop it as a project. Finally I said, I've got to do this for me. I want to make something that...
