Only with help will a woman come to see that she bears no responsibility for her rape, that she can turn her anger outward and effect social change. She must break through her fear, re-establish at least a rudimentary sense of invulnerability, and accept her own power before she is able to act constructively. In fact, most women break through society's myths and lead normal lives. But the woman's life is changed and she needs others to affirm and support her own positive growth after her pain...

The old fort buildings will be occupied by a fine arts museum, by civic groups and even lawyers' offices.

"Today it is far safer to try and get out through a neighboring East bloc country," Ball says. "Only the truly desperate risk the so-called Death Strip...

Rather, the project has gone the way of the nation: as conservatism and conformity became acceptable on campuses again, earnest and clean-living Outward Bound types began to outnumber the laid-back dopers at the desert construction site. Says Volunteer Terry Kearns: "They told us if we had to smoke dope, they had better never see us do it. It's like ninth grade all over again...
