...solution generally are just asserting that their own position is the right one, nor that it should be. The incontrovertible obstacle remains national affiliation. The Catholic side desires unification with the south, while the Protestant side insists on maintaining the link with Britain. The disagreement is absolute with no space for compromise or concession. Power-sharing may succeed on a pragmatic basis and as an effective counter to the 'men of violence,' and the present troubles may even end, but the question of national affiliation will continue to plague the province.

While the inmates are gathered in the open space on one of the floors in the prison, a new character enters the picture. He strikes an obvious contrast with the hardened thugs who people the prison, given his layered haircut, handsome WASP features and sharp-looking sports suit. Introduced to the assembled inmates as Clark Davis (Bruce Davison), the new prisoner immediately attracts thepaternalistic attention of the leader among the white prisoners, a tough Irish ethnic named Charlie "Longshoe" Murphy (Joseph Carberry). Longshoe willingly takes Davis under...
