...orders for a "secret mission" from army intelligence. (The papers were discovered on the hit man after he himself was killed, apparently by friendly fire.) Before his murder by two unidentified men last year, left-wing activist Edison Lapuz told friends he was under military surveillance. And journalist George Vigo, before his death, heard from an intelligence source that his name was on an "OB" or "order of battle."

(By now Bart Collins has outdone Bart Simpson on the destructo scale.) Not since Jean Vigo's "Zero de Conduite" have filmmakers so fervently called for a revolt of the underage. Even the laconic Zabladowski falls under Bart's revolutionary spell. "People should always believe in kids," he says sagely. "They should even believe their lies...
