RUSTY CALLEY stands convicted of wanton slaughter, but in his private life he is an unlikely villain.

A child strikes the felled warrior two glancing blows with a mace; the villagers look on. The rebel dies in agony...
...went in young, joining the Jesuits at 18 in 1939; he did not visit home again until 1946. Philip enlisted and went to war; in Divine Disobedience, Francine du Plessix Gray's admirable portrait of the Berrigans and other Catholic radicals, a friend characterizes Philip as "an 'exceptionally gifted warrior" who fought in France and Germany and won a second lieutenant's commission. After the war, he finished college at Holy Cross, not far from Daniel, who was at Weston seminary near Boston. In 1950 Philip entered the Society of St. Joseph ?the Josephites?an order dedicated to work...
