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...
...kind of army recruiting poster turned on its head. Galy Gay (Mace Rosenstein), a man who just can't say no to anything, leaves his hut to buy a fish and gets sidetracked for life. He runs into a trio of British privates, who act like manic Boy Scouts with switchblades hidden in their pockets (in fact, a butter knife serves). They develop great career plans for him when a buddy of theirs disappears during a group burglary. Galy's not much of a soldier, but what's the difference, one man's like the next and all are adaptable...
...student actors all give serviceable portrayals and even better they seem to understand what Brecht has them saying.

"And five per cent of the guards are sadistic brutal people who get their kicks by squirting mace at the prisoners confined in isolation." The New Crusader stopped speaking, let his jaw slacken, and then went on to discuss less emotional issues...
...Spiked Mace. Even Spiro Agnew is to be reined in. For much of Nixon's first term, the Vice President's principal duty seemed to be to go after the Administration's enemies and critics with a spiked mace. In alliterative swings he denounced Democrats, liberals, radicals, protesters, the press, the Eastern Establishment, even dissident members of his own party, with an assiduousness and acidity that would hardly have been becoming of the President. There were liberal Republicans who thought it unbecoming even in a Vice President, and who saw in Agnew few qualities that would make...
