Members adopted an eleven-point code of conduct. Among other things, it forbade fighting, wife-beating, card games and the "capitalist sin" of alcohol. Along with communal chores, members read from the writings of Mao Tse-tung, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. At least half of Paradise's adults are unemployed, but leaders boasted that funds were coming in from bank robberies. As Toro said: "We do not promise...
