...Three were British born--a 30-year-old grade-school teacher with a baby daughter and a reputation for devotion to his learning- disabled students; an 18-year-old described by friends as a "gentle giant," dressed that morning like the universal teenager, in denims and a sloppy jacket; a 22-year-old cricket fan who worked in his family's fish-and-chip shop in Leeds.
