...estrangement of the young is strongest, but the influence of children on parents is also most evident. Parents who lose control of their children are usually confused about their own values and identities.

Psychoanalyst Helene Deutsch believes that many parents themselves are still emotional adolescents, and it is evident not only in their adoption of youthful dress and fads but in a lack of inner maturity as well: "In giving their children freedom and independence, they are pushing them...
...first visit to Muscat town in many years, Qabus ordered the release of 19 political prisoners. He offered full amnesty to the Dhofari rebels in the southwest who had opposed his father's regime; one group responded by congratulating him on his accession.

Betrayed to the Persians as a Greek rebel by Helena, who is also his lover, Herostratus dashes both sisters' dreams of immortal fame by burning the spectacular Temple of Diana. In one rash act he has overshadowed his conniving sisters and secured for himself a notable historic role as an arsonist...
...becomes a pinball champion. Later, miraculously cured, he becomes a pinball messiah and finally the leader of a quasi-religious state. When he insists that his followers play pinball with their mouths gagged, their eyes blindfolded, their ears plugged with stoppers -in sum, with his old handicaps-they rebel and overthrow him. Tommy's empire falls into ruins...
