I am Elizabeth Colton in Washington. Over the last few years and around the country, the number of fundamentalist religious groups is said to be growing. Some are called ultrafundamentalist groups. The estimates varied greatly. The number could be as high as two thousand. These organizations have different purposes and beliefs, but usually have one thing in mon—strong leadership, quite often one person. Four years ago in October at a fundamentalist Christian mune in West Virginia, a young boy died after a paddling session that lasted for two hours. The child was spanked by his parents. He had hit another child and refused to say he was sorry. We reported the story of that paddling—the story of the Stonegate Community in November of 1982. Since that time, Stonegate leader has been tried and convicted, one of the first times a leader of a religious group has been held responsible for the actions of a member. Also in that time the parents of the child have served jail terms, and now they have agreed to tell their story. The Stonegate Commune was near Charleston, West Virginia, in the northeast corner of the state. It39。t think he was a very good poet. But they did feel that his suggestions which were that people not write in the classical style, that they write in what he called the modern style, was very repressive. And as a result, of course, the restriction of publication during the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, poetry was abysmal. When you say the modern style, would that be, for example, free verse? It would be free verse as opposed to classical rhymes or classical forms. You write in the introduction to one of your translations of poems of Mao Tsetong that people ... you explain that leaders in China, and indeed in the a East, are expected to be acplished poets.

The night that Tojo ... before Tojo died, he, ... in Japan, he wrote some poems. Ho Chi Minh was a poet. It was mon. In fact, I think until early in the twentieth century, even to pass a bureaucratic exam, one had to know a huge number of classical forms. And especially, a leader should at least be a poet. There is one poem which is political in nature which has to do with a parasitic disease in China. Yes. Mao wrote some poems, two poems actually, about getting rid of a disease that was a plague for the country. And it39。s mostly farming country. The Stonegate members lived outside of town in an old white Victorian house, overlooking the Shenandoah River, eight young families living and working together. They did some farming, some construction work and for a time ran a restaurant in Charleston. It was their intention to bee less of a mune and more of a munity, with the families living in separate houses on the property. We went to Stonegate on a Sunday evening in November of 1982. We were reluctantly weled. Less than a month before, two Stonegate members had been indicted for involuntary manslaughter. They were the parents of Joseph Green, who was two years old when he died. On this night many of the Stonegate people were defensive, almost angry. That was four years ago. The parents, Stewart and Leslie Green, were convicted of involuntary manslaughter and both spent a year in jail. First Stewart, then Leslie. Then in a separate legal action, the leader of the Stonegate mune, Dorothy McLellan was also indicted. McLellan did not take part in the paddling but she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy in the death of Joey Green. Stewart Green, the father, testified against Dorothy McLellan. Green now believes that his son died because of McLellan39。s poorest kids to go on to college and to jobs afterward. The program is called Action Center for Educational Services and Scholarships, or ACESS. According to Daniel Cheever, the President of Boston39。s most influential corporations have already joined in, with twenty more soon to follow. The program has drawn the praise of US Education Secretary William Bennett, who predicted it will bee a national model. For National Public Radio, I39。re not going to e to you all the time.

No. Well, at least in my conversations in the year I recently spent in Peking teaching at the university there, I found very few people who didn39。ve got to get them home. Jacobsen made his remarks as he arrived at Wiesbaden, West Germany, acpanied by Anglican Church envoy, Terry Waite, who worked to gain his release. And Waite says his efforts will continue.
