...sounds they couldn't identify. They had a telescope they used to watch the police. The General [Hanafi Leader Khaalis] made a speech about his dead babies and how the Jews didn't care about his babies or South African babies. He said he wasn't afraid to kill us and he wasn't afraid to die. He was on the phone a lot. He came back once and said, 'I've just talked to the whole world-Sweden, London and Europe.

He spent two weeks in Boonesville, Calif., on a farm run by the Unification Church. He was reluctant to return to school and a waiting senior thesis and afraid of what the future held after graduation. He said last week, that at the time he "wanted a simple answer to life." He found people at the "Creative Community Project," as the Unification Church called itself, very friendly. Once he was on the farm, "psychological tension built up," he said...
