After the dance, the kids' hearing was tested again. Despite the youthful resiliency of their inner ears, all had suffered at least temporary hearing impairment, with the average loss at about 11 db. One boy showed a 35-db loss.

Also included in her Secret Doctrine is an ancient Greek incantation-"Aski...
...Barry Sadler's song, "The Green Berets," which is sung at both the beginning and the end of the film, is a fight song for those who are already convinced. Just like the Columbia slogan, "Up Against the Wall, Motherfuckers," it's good for inner group morale, but doesn't win any converts...
