...classic Year Zero. Kill or drive away anybody who could possibly be considered an enemy, break down all state and social fabric and replace it with fear.In the end the party is the only thing left." The former rebel commander?now hiding out in the capital after deserting in disgust over the new tactics?says the Maoists' strategy is an experiment conducted with the support of left-wing rebel groups across Asia. Three years ago, he says, communist guerrillas from India, Bangladesh and the Philippines met Nepalese counterparts in Kathmandu and resolved to turn the kingdom into a laboratory...
Radio host Laura Schlessinger discovered the Rind review and called it "junk science." House majority whip Tom DeLay of Texas expressed "outrage and disgust" at the psychological association for printing "a study that advocates normalizing pedophilia," and the House voted unanimously to condemn the paper.

Perhaps if his character hadn’t been written so inebriated and whiny, the monster could have held up a more penetrating criticism of his human nemesis...
...lambs in the flock are a catastrophe for the authority and moral geometry of the church. Faith ascends on a vertical axis to God. The vertical is supported by a horizontal axis--trust, which is the everyday, stabilizing dynamic of a living church. If trust dissolves into doubt and disgust, if God's representatives on earth turn out to be, many of them, child molesters and protectors of child molesters, then who will ever see such men at their priestly work--consecrating the body and blood of Christ, or whispering through the grill in the dusk of the confessional--without...
