What they keep getting is sweeping, uncluttered spreads in yummy pastels, or Neanderthal collages depicting, say, one mouse, two frogs and a lily pad, accompanied by perhaps seven fatuous words per page. Pleasant enough, but nothing in it to justify the price or keep the mind alive, even for a single rereading...

...Dutton, thus diverting attention from their actual day-to-day activities. The link is hardly proven, but the overall taste left in the mouth after a perusal of the Process' current Death Issue magazine, which reprints part of an "article" written by Manson, is not in the least pleasant. Robert DeGrimston, the founder of the Process, has published three books on war, supposedly based on the words of Satan, Lucifer, and Jehovah.
