should simultaneously be carry
control on a campaign of gainst the rigs

and also setting up an A.M.A.-tppe
structure in order to police his
own followers. I think he ought to
stop this tendency. because it's
injuring his awn repntatian. and

"You know, the first book still
makes sense when I read it. even if
the sense has been oversold. Science of Survival begins to get a
