...College Knowledge would be scripture. Its cover claims it is "everything you need to know about everything," although it could easily be called "some things you need to know about everything you already learned." The book crawls with morsels of the same wholesome advice Wally Cleaver probably gave to Beaver. Edelhart covers nearly every topic even remotely relevant to college life, from joining a frat to a guide to herbs to traveling through national forests. Because he is writing what he hopes will become the standard reference for college students, he provides addresses for requesting research material on dozens...
...these passages, unfortunately, the polemical quality comes through more clearly than the analysis. Her treatments of such diverse authors as Norman Mailer, Eldridge Cleaver, Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, and James Baldwin make sense from the point of view of her thesis, but are not always clear in their own right. Her discussions of Daniel Patrick Moynihan's and Eugene Genovese's portrayals of black sociology are vivid but sometimes confusingly located in the text, and her autobiographical comments, while giving life to the argument, do not always flow happily into the generalizations she attempts to make...
Later in the same period, Clarkson freshman Bryan Cleaver nicely shifted by Trainor with a great puck-through-the-legs move and zinged a wrister off the goalpost.

Accounts of such conversions vary sharply. Some saved souls have been dramatic sinners, as were Cleaver and Watson, for example. But the vast majority of born-again religious experiences seem to come quite simply and quietly, at least as they are recollected later. In March 1976, when President Carter decided to tell a press conference how he had "formed a very close, intimate, personal relationship with God through Christ," he added: ''It wasn't mysterious. It might have been the same kind of experience as millions of people have who become Christians in a deeply personal way." Says Marabel Morgan...
...surefire confessional books are about to appear. In Soul on Fire (Word), out in February, ex-Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver testifies that after years spent as a prisoner of Marxism and hate, he finally found peace when he saw the face of Jesus in the full moon over Cannes. Cleaver was later converted by a prison "God squad." In Will You Die for Me? (Revell), due in April, Charles ("Tex") Watson, leader of the vicious Tate-LaBianca murders, tells how he supplanted Charles Manson with Jesus Christ. Watson, a mandatory lifer, now preaches three times a month and teaches...
