...initiative is a grand donnybrook, sometimes messy, sometimes elevated; it seems as if everybody in California, from the Governor and the two Senators on down, is personally involved, and hardly a week goes by that there isn't a demonstration, a wild debate--last week's involved former Klansman David Duke--or a lawsuit between the two sides. There is a palpable sense that historic events are unfolding...
...every U.S. telephone network of any consequence was MOD's playground. At first they used their powers for harmless high jinks: looking up the unlisted numbers of celebrities, pestering people they disliked (such as white supremacist Tom Metzgar and former Klansman David Duke) and calling the homes of people they admired (Richard Gere, Julia Roberts).

Such behavior got them on Oprah and Geraldo. It also captured the attention of onetime Klansman Tom Metzger, head of White Aryan Resistance, California's best-known hate group. Metzger, whose well-developed philosophy includes the expulsion of America's Latinos and Asians and the creation of separatist black and white states, recruited successfully among skinhead groups in the West and Midwest. Too successfully, perhaps. On the last night of a visit by a WAR lieutenant, three Portland, Oregon, skins beat an Ethiopian student named Mulugeta Seraw to death. The case drew national attention, and the Southern Poverty Law Center...
