“That was a big breakthrough. The next step was to get them to integrate. I have to find a way to do that.”
“That damned article—” “It’s fortunate for us that Toni saw that article.”
Otto Lewison looked at him in surprise. “Fortunate?” “Yes. Because there’s that residual hate in Toni.”
“Now that we know it’s there, we can work on it. I want to try an experiment.”
