...noncombatants, as laid down by the Geneva Convention and Army regulations. Worse, they knew that others in their outfit had got away with raping and killing Vietnamese civilians. "That evening, as we cleaned our weapons and got our gear ready, we talked about the operation," Pfc. Robert W. Pendleton told the Peers investigators.

Except for occasional trips to the beach at Camp Pendleton 13 miles south of the estate and a drive in a dark-topped white Mercury, Nixon remained inside the compound.

Wyman Pendleton imbues the aging counselor Escalus with warmth. And Alvah Stanley, with axe, rope and chains, is properly intimidating as the executioner Abhorson--a unique name that Shakespeare fashioned, in the manner of the pivot-word so common in Japanese poetry, by fusing 'abhor' and 'whoreson...
