...telling the far-ranging story of two boys, one of them rich and well-favored, the other a servant in his household, growing to manhood in an increasingly violent world. The film is full of chaotic incident - one of the boys is gang-raped (an occasion for considerable overheated press comment a few months ago), the other, as an adult, witnesses an adulterous couple stoned to death. It also features a heartbreaking bretrayal, a disappearance into disparate refugee voids by both of them and the inspirational working out of one of those deep family secrets that were the great specialty...

"To me, the most interesting question is - are there prosecutors chomping at the bit here?" asks Michael Shapiro, a criminal defense attorney. "Has Mitchell presented them cases on a silver platter?" At his press conference, Mitchell stressed that prosecutors have more important concerns than punishing individual past steroid users, and that there is no evidence that prosecutors would jump on this.
