The Clark and Mulroney line is that South Africa's neighbors are “squirming under the economic and military thumb of Pretoria,"’ UCHR! “We solve. smoke Lo - problems -' smokers & non-smokers work in- harmony... lunch rooms, oltice, restaurants proven performance results guaranteed: | | a Tobacco Smoke “Express Shuttle 500 CAI ‘Bonus Points for 3 days parking | : Doug COLLINS 1 that South Africa is an ‘‘ag- gressor’', and that all evil in Southern Africa flows from Pretoria. to da so.
