...individual subtleties. Paul Freeman, Jean-Francois Stevenin, and Tom Berenger play Shannon's mates. Each is tough, gutsy, and grittily charming. There are next to no actesses in the film; the one love scene takes about 45 seconds. Though he plays another stock character--the hard-drinking British journalist--Colin Blakely turns in an entertaining stiff-upper-lip performance, which is matched by Hugh Millais' portrayal of Simon Endean, Mr. International Capital. "But this presidency has been all bought and paid for," he protests at the movie's end, as he stands impeccably dressed in a sea of blood...

In an open letter to the college community, Wesleyan President Colin Campbell said he believed the anonymous letter delivered there was one example of "resurgent racism in society at large." Chandler concurs: "Because of the current shift in the national mood, I'm assuming that some rather ugly impulses have been liberated." Says Archie Epps III, dean of undergraduates at Harvard and a black: "In such a climate, an individual who has harbored resentment is more likely to feel free...
