Chapter Seventy Three
"Does this Administration believe that there is a chance that American-South African relations will improve?"

"So long as Prime Minister Hartzenberg continues to isolate himself from the US and our allies, this Administration believes that there's very little chance."

-Jeane Kirkpatrick (1981)

"People forget that the British started this whole 'crisis' when they needlessly implemented sanctions-and Buckley just stood by, abandoning the only nation opposing Communism down there in Africa. If we want to improve relations, we need to stop attacking Hartzenberg for suppressing riots, and start to show that we support him."

-Jesse Helms (1981)
