...Clayton House, one of San Francisco's earliest, seems to have succumbed already. Founder Richard Key and his entourage now tape broadcasts for ten radio stations, publish a newsletter soliciting contributions, and maintain a 24-hour prayer room to forward the petitions of their benefactors.

Last week he was participating in the peaceful sit-in protest of the curfew when the police gassed him and beat him with clubs, opening a head wound that took five stitches to close. "I've always maintained that there were a few pigs and lots of cops," he said. "Now it seems there are more pigs than I thought. When the gentlest...
