President Clinton capped two days of pomp and heraldry for Nelson Mandela's first state visit to Washington by pledging just what the South African President came for: a $100 million fund to help the southern African entrepreneurs and bolster education and development projects in the region. The outright gift sweetens a $600 million pot of U.S. loans and assistance already promised to South Africa this year. How much more goodwill can the U.S. afford? Last week the White House also promised a hefty $1 billion to Russia's President Boris Yeltsin.
