The first is the question of whether Beckett's illness was going to challenge his competency. The second is how they should approach the issue of his AIDS and homosexuality, which seems to have been a problem for some of them. Wheeler has been a valuable asset to the firm, so there is a dilemma related to their desire to fire him and the duty of care that they owe him for his service to the firm.
The managers were not justified in firing Andrew. This is an ethical decision, rather than a legal one. Neither the Civil Rights Act of 1964 nor latter statutes...

") When Johnson defeated Jeffries, however, it unleashed white violence against blacks nationwide.
