Judicial Control. The issue is particularly critical to a special rule of the game. A policeman or police agent is forbidden to entrap-that is, he may not put the idea of the crime into a person's head and induce him to act on it. A mere citizen, however, can suggest a criminal idea and later, if he decides to become an informer, give evidence against his coconspirators. Clearly, the moment when he came under police control is crucial...
...which psychedelics are used to brainwash and subjugate people into a strict authoritarian lifestyle, usually centered on the demands and needs of one leader. It is this which worries Ed Sanders most. "Young people need to know the techniques a guru or so-called leader might use to entrap them in a web of submission so that they can keep a constant vigil against it," warns Sanders in his preface; at the end of the book he is somewhat more dramatic and angry: "Only when all these evil affairs are known and exposed can the curse of ritual sacrifice, Helter...
...from querulous annual scrutiny, the network quakes at the least cavil from the Administration or Congress. Last week, after a complaining letter from J.

That's why President Nixon physically leaves the place and goes to Camp David or Key Biscayne. Kennedy said that one good thing about the White House is that it was a short walk to the office ?but that cuts both ways...
...dream in the mind of Adolf Hitler. By late autumn, Wehrmacht planners had transformed the dream into battle orders. Hitler proposed to regain the offensive by deploying Germany's last reserves to smash through a lightly held sector of the Belgian front. His panzers would entrap as many as 30 U.S. and British divisions, capture the strategic supply port of Antwerp, and perhaps end the war in the West with a negotiated peace. Hitler thought of it as another Dunkirk and code-named it "Wacht am Rhein [Watch on the Rhine]." Allied archives would later refer to "the Battle...
