"A sophomore at George Washington..." "I see why it looked silly." "They probably recruited Todd back in South Africa, when they could take advantage of the fact that he was young and naive." "He wasn't naive." "I grew up with so many like him back in Johannesburg... privileged, self-centered, little, miniature copies of their parents." "I photographed him meeting a South African Intelligence officer..." "Eugene Venter." "We think he's planning to stage an attack and blame the student groups here who are protesting apartheid." "That's Reuben Ncgobo." "We think Venter won't be able to resist coming after him once he knows he's here." "Ncgobo's going to set another meeting with Todd."
