Like an expedition following a cracked compass, the PBS ``Masterpiece Theatre'' miniseries ``Rhodes'' takes a full two hours of meandering to find its way. But when this three-parter manages to get on track by Monday night, it delivers a forceful and flavorful account of the career of the bloody-handed visionary who conquered the world's diamond trade and much of southern Africa at the turn of the century.

Cecil Rhodes may have had his redeeming social or moral qualities...
