...leader who died in prison after police interrogation, and Donald Woods, a white anti-apartheid newspaper editor (Kevin Kline). Coming next spring is Atlantic's A World Apart, about a family caught in the racial strife of the 1960s, with Barbara Hershey. Also planned: The Long Weekend, to star Julian Sands as Neil Aggett, the first white activist to die in jail...
...McEwan's unerring prose and godly powers of awareness have made him one of the best of Britain's youngish novelists, a distinguished group that includes Martin Amis, A.N. Wilson and Julian Barnes.

To be sure, the paranoia that long ago settled damply around our spy dramas seems to have drifted eastward to infect Writer Julian Bond and Director Simon Langton. Their story has the British espionage establishment protecting a highly placed mole by murdering innocent, clerkish underlings in an attempt to convince its American allies that it is doing something about a leak the latter are complaining about...
