...York Times, Time, and Newsweek have focused on the SLA members' unstable personal relationships; the bitterness and isolation supposedly associated with the lesbianism of Patricia Soltysik and Camilla Hall; the desperate disenchantment of Nancy Ling Perry, a former topless waitress who had been a Goldwaterite in her youth. Apparently taking their lead, Dr. Thomas Noguchi, Los Angeles County coroner, ordered a "psychological autopsy" on those who died in the May 17 battle.

These throngs hear about the lectures only by word of mouth; Gothard buys no advertising...
After graduating in 1957 from Wheaton (Ill.) College and being ordained by the conservative, independent La Grange Bible Church, Gothard worked with teen-agers in suburban churches as well as youth gangs in Chicago. Both groups were similarly disturbed, he decided, and their family life was to blame. To counteract their personal problems, he developed a set of absolute "principles," like his theory about God's chain of command...
