Cults can differ considerably in their demands and discipline; not all indulge in coercion or violence. Still, many conform to a standard pattern of behavior. Once a recruit is drawn into a cult-adherents prefer to call it a sect or denomination-its message is incessantly drummed in. The novice is seldom left alone, a prey to random thoughts. Ties are severed with his past life; communications with family and friends may be eliminated altogether, a process that critics regard as "programming" or "brainwashing." Says Kelley: "These movements divide families, split communities, create tension and friction and turmoil. They...
...that everybody gets a new coat of skin every 28 days or so. On white women the effect is often unnoticeable, but the exfoliation can make ashen spots show up on dark skin, unless it is covered with special emollients. The upper and lower lips of black women sometimes differ in color?slightly, but enough to require application of a special base to the relatively lighter lower lip if a lipstick is not to come out two different shades.

...Sarich calls a "genetic clock." That timepiece is based on comparative studies, done since the early 1960s, of the blood proteins, immunology and DNA (the genetic molecule) of various mammals, including the primates. Out of this work scientists have been able to measure the degree of genetic kinship among different species. They have found, for example, that while the genes of horse and Homo sapiens differ by as much as 20%, those of chimps and man vary by only...

("Rainer Werner Fassbinder is thirty-one" the Welles Theater's notes tell us, "and his film credits already outnumber his years").

He should be a director, attempting not only to control how we see him, but how we see everything. Often we see Herman...
...creation of a women's study program and other left-wing causes. The radicals want to begin to act immediately on the issues they feel are pressing. However, they have so far been mollified by another distinct faction in the assembly--a group of left-leaning representatives who differ from the radicals in their belief that representation must come before ideology...
