...year-old father-in-law of President Luis Echeverria Alvarez and one of the most powerful men in Guadalajara, Mexico's second city, was kidnaped. Four armed men stopped Zuno's new blue Galaxie as it slowed to make a turn, disabled the chauffeur with Mace spray, and pulled Zuno into another car. His family warned that Zuno, a former governor of Jalisco State, and a political kingmaker, suffers from diabetes and might die unless he was given a special sugar-and salt-free diet...
...their confreres against just such attacks. Formed by the Rev. Ray, a Pentecostal Evangelist and known homosexual who himself was once beaten severely outside his gay mission center, the Panthers patrol the streets nightly with chains, billy clubs, whistles and cans of red spray paint (a substitute for forbidden Mace). Their purpose, as the Rev. Ray candidly puts it, is to strike terror in the hearts of "all those young punks who have been beating up my faggots...
...Mace. Specifically, Antioch's experiments in educating the poor have led to serious financial and administrative strains that have aroused student militants. They struck the campus for six weeks last winter in support of cafeteria workers who had been laid off.

Rambur claims that the deprogrammers have had cooperation from the police, but the law is ambiguous. A Texas woman, Mrs. Bernard Parmetter, for example, armed with a can of Mace, abducted her son Lee. But authorities, in turn, forced her to release him because he was 21. Dan Voll, who was seized in New York, has filed an assault charge against Patrick; his lawyer, John LeMoult, argues that most deprogram ming raids involve assault and unlaw ful imprisonment. But since parents are involved, federal officials do not in prac tice deem the abductions kidnaping...
...student actors all give serviceable portrayals and even better they seem to understand what Brecht has them saying. Mace Rosenstein turns out a suitably naive and accepting Galy but has no chance to show his evolution. As Bloody Five, Tim Manna struts and bellows, though in his efforts to growl, his lines occasionally garble. Marty Shofner, Richard Bertelson, and Steve Craddock make a good Three Stooges team, and their casual violence fits their uniforms. By avoiding Widow Begbick's slattern stereotype, Claudia Carter does Brecht's characterization one better. Parkman Howe, as a monk cum con artist, skitters away with...
