But her strategy for dealing with disputes is well defined: "One must never resort to force, psychic or otherwise." Not that she recoils from arguing with her critics. But even though she may consider a certain problem to be a moral issue, she says, "I'll never tell a man he's immoral, because I don't know his conscience...
