...question your characterization of me as a "highly suggestible sort" because I was deprogrammed and then reconverted to the Unification Church. After long soul-searching I realized that the divine principle, the revelation of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, was true. There is a spiritual revolution taking place, and all the deprogrammers in the world can't stop...
...Policy Failures. In contrast to the opportunistic Soviet policy, several panelists felt, U.S. policy in the crescent has been myopic and timid. They complained that the Administration has done little more than issue statements outlining what it would not do. Policy, said Helms gloomily, "is sort of sloshing around.

...their sting. The underground has become fashionable: everybody has joined the avant-garde and Allen Ginsberg has joined academe. Lacking the diehard convictions of their elders, most of the 1,500 little magazines now being published print anything and wind up sounding the same. "The multiplication of poets sort of leaves my mind blank," says Poet Karl Shapiro, former editor of Poetry. In many ways this collection of essays is a retrospective; editors like Robie Macauley, formerly of the Kenyan Review, fear that the little magazine is "rather like a Conestoga wagon in the day of the automobile...
