...grew up in cruel environments that induced them to accept punishment and avoid rebellious behavior. But American children of the same period, said deMause, had strong and loving mothers, and were later unhappy when they were denied love by their mothers or symbolic substitutes. When the symbolic Mother England withheld her love, the Americans quickly rebelled. The Revolution, argued deMause, was thus a massive "regression-rebirth fantasy," which is the re-experiencing of the events of birth. Now if only George III had been a woman . . .

So, too, has the recent admission by the FBI that it secretly destroyed a threatening note from Lee Harvey Oswald, although that reckless act was apparently done only to save the agency from embarrassment. Those facts were withheld from the Warren Commission by both agencies. A Harris Poll, taken in October, shows that 65% of the public believe that the Kennedy assassination was "not the act of one individual, but rather of a larger conspiracy...
