...SSRC is adamant. "We understand our parents' anguish," says a Soweto high school senior named Michael, who, as a known SSRC sympathizer, is on the run from the police and sleeps in a different house every night.

He leaves London's Victoria Station with its throngs of people and loud, smoke-bellowing engines and passes into the gleaming green Austrian countryside. With his bloodhound Toby on the scent of Moriarty...
...country-fresh, city-smudged sensuality. Spacek (the name is Czechoslovakian, and is pronounced to rhyme with "basic") looks a little like a White Rock girl who slipped off the soda bottle to spend a summer in the old Haight. That quality of naivete and simultaneous sophistication is an excellent tool for an actress, one that Spacek is clearly adept at using; although she insists "I don't think of myself as an actress. I am an actress, among other things...
