Basing their beliefs largely on a speculative scientific paper published in 1983 by Dr. Frank Barr, a San Francisco physician, the melanists assert that blacks -- who indeed have more of the skin pigment than other races -- possess superior and supernatural traits that can be ascribed to the magical qualities of neuromelanin, a little-studied substance in the brain.

According to the melanists, neuromelanin can convert light and magnetic fields...
...takes an extraordinary amount of self-confidence to wield a scalpel with skill, but most surgeons never approach the audacity of Dr. Roger Poisson.

I didn't come here to treat enemies,' " recalls Barbara Ginsberg, an American official of Kach who knew Goldstein. Says Michael Guzofsky, the associate director of Kahane Chai, a splinter of the Kach Party: "In his mind, there was no such thing as an innocent Arab." Among the Palestinians of Hebron, he developed a reputation as a fierce bully who harassed Muslim worshippers at the Tomb...
