"They don't have the manpower to stage attacks that cause a lot of international commotion," he says. But they can and do wreak considerable damage...

Boatner's boys can "smuggle farts like anarchist bombs into the highest and most sacred scenes of camp life," wet the bed one minute and display extraordinary bravery the next, be ruled by their burgeoning sexuality to the point of visiting the barn animals but soar to great spirituality when one of the last members of the camp's old Indian tribe imparts his wisdom...
