Even Trent (Vince Vaughn), the cute one, has problems; he's so at ease with his boyish charm, he's forgotten that maybe it's time, at 24, to grow...

For he resembled his grandfather's pictures taken when that young Winston covered the Boer War at the turn of the century--boyish and freckled, greedy for trouble. Now, behind the police lines, Churchill and I chatted with a guilty, voyeur's air, as if awaiting some illegal sporting event--a cockfight or a sloppily organized human sacrifice...
