...rate, Dobal comes across as exactly what he is--a 20-year-old actor with silver paint in his hair. He doesn't convey enough of the decrepitude or pathos inherent in Gabriel's character. In a key scene with Serge at the end, however, he manages to expand into his role, and that helps forgive much of his performance...
...second question that I'd like to address is the question, should companies expand by investing in South Africa? I think the answer to that question should be no. The reason is that while the existing assets will be used, if not by us, then by others, it seems to me no reason to expand the assets and the wealth of the South African economy by investing now in view of the serious risks.

To be sure, divestiture would not have an immediate financial effect on the companies...
...what effect they are having, perhaps unintentionally? If they are to make massive material changes, they should be able to afford a sinological capacity to study Chinese society and its problems. We are smart enough now to demand that the whole environmental picture be looked at, when business firms expand their installations in the U.S.A. If this is worth doing at home, why not abroad...
