...would hope we are going to have a multiracial setup in Rhodesia. I believe the white man has a tremendous amount to offer, great skill, know-how and experience and, after all, they are people of this country.

What kind of know-how is needed to maintain the dignity of one's spirit despite fears for one's body? How can one assert what is right even as one is leashed and suffocating...
