...suspensions resulted from two separate incidents in 1978. The first--which reportedly involves Caulkins, Pennington, Linehan, Cynthia Woodhead (3 golds, 2 silvers at the World Championships), Stephanie Elkins, Kim Dunson, Gina Layton, Dawn Rodighiero, Greg Jagenburg, Marc Foreman, and two other unidentified swimmers--occurred after the conclusion of a U.S.-USSR dual meet in Austin, Tex., last April. The swimmers had been attending a birthday party for an American team member, a party which sources claimed was sponsored by AAU money and attended by American coaches and Russian team members. Apparently, the swimmers violated curfew (said...
...second incidence of code violations was less petty in nature, and more severe in its consequences for the athletes. It reportedly involved the use of drugs by five swimmers--Layton, Foreman, Beth Harrell, Steve Tallman, and Jan Ujevich--at a training camp in Colorado Springs, Colo. last August, while the American "B" Team was preparing for an upcoming dual meet with Canada. Four swimmers were suspended for two years with two years probation, while Ujevich, because she was a minor at the time, drew a one-year sentence with another year's probation. The International Subcommittee...
...another hearing in Guyana last week, Larry Layton, the cult member who pretended he wanted to return home with Congressman Leo Ryan and ended up taking part in the shooting at the airstrip, was charged with the Congressman's murder. Another cult survivor testified at Layton's pretrial hearing that Jones himself had talked about the need for Ryan's death and predicted that his plane would "fall out of the sky." Survivors returning to the U.S. have told the FBI that the cult's basketball team, to which Jones' natural son Stephan...
Despite their dubious and sometimes deadly activities, the cults have remained pretty much outside the law. Evidence emerged last week that the U.S. State Department had been given ample warning of the impending catastrophe at Jonestown but had not acted decisively. Deborah Layton Blakey, sister of Larry Layton, the commune's alleged executioner, sent the department an eleven-page statement detailing Jones' paranoia and brutality, the suicide drills, the weapons present in the camp, the malnutrition and sickness that were rampant, and the state of fear in which most of the inhabitants lived. She claims that the commune...
Inside the Cessna, the young man, later identified as Larry Layton, 32, proved that he should have been watched. He opened fire with a pistol, wounding a woman, Vernie Gosney, who was seated beside the pilot. Layton ran from the plane. After the assailants withdrew, the Otter was found to be too damaged to fly. Its crew rushed over to the Cessna and managed to take off for Georgetown with five survivors...
