...relatives and retainers. To allay doubts, nondenominational ministries in 1979 created the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (E.C.F.A.) to fix fund-raising standards.

Bayly advises contributors to demand a financial statement even if a group has the E.C.F.A. seal: "If questions are dodged, assume it is a careless operation at best, fraudulent at worst...

...update Nightmare Alley, the old Tyrone Power sideshow shocker, soon relaxes into a standard triangle tale of love, jealousy and reconciliation. No freaks, no geeks-just two pals and a nymphet with a heart of gold. All that is left is the oldtime star power of the lead performers: Robertson, with his motel-room eyes and a voice like pure nicotine; Gary Busey, strong and lovable behind his goony, gummy smile; and Jodie Foster, poised for a swan dive into young womanhood.
