Nancy Salzman, former president and co-founder of Executive Success Programs (ESP), returns for the second part of her first-ever post-prison interview. After co-founding ESP with Keith Raniere in 1998, the company grew into the larger umbrella organization NXIVM—originally promoted as an elite personal development and leadership training community. In this second part of her conversation with Kate, Nancy speaks openly about the unraveling of NXIVM, the legal fallout that followed, and the personal reckoning she faced as she prepared to plead guilty. She discusses the complex blend of loyalty, denial, and awakening that preceded her arrest; her experience inside federal prison; and the emotional and psychological work required to confront her own responsibility.

Nancy Salzman, former president of Executive Success Programs (ESP)—a company offering personal and professional development programs designed to help people discover, develop, and utilize more of their untapped potential—joins Kate for the first of a two-part conversation. In 1998, she and Keith Raniere co-founded ESP, which Raniere later expanded into the broader umbrella organization NXIVM. He presented NXIVM as an elite self-improvement and leadership training company, but it ultimately became a vehicle for manipulation, coercive control, and the secretive subgroup DOS that led to his federal conviction. Nancy was sentenced in 2021 to 42 months in federal prison for racketeering-related charges connected to her role in the organization. In this first part, she discusses how she met Raniere, the creation and rapid growth of ESP, and what was really happening behind the scenes as the organization evolved.

What happens when belonging is tied to your bank account? This piece shows how cult-like religious environments turn “sacrificial giving” into financial control, leaving money scripts like “If I don't give, I'll be rejected.” Through client stories—including retirees pressured to keep giving—it highlights how loss of community magnifies money fears. Reframing generosity beyond dollars helps protect well-being while honoring values. The takeaway: healing means separating faith from finances with compassion so choices come from true values, not obligation. #MoneyAndBelonging #FinancialBoundaries #MoneyScripts #FaithAndFinance #HealthyGenerosity #FinancialWellness #MoneyHealing #FinancialEmpowerment #MoneyFreedom #ValuesBasedGiving #MoneyMindset #FinancialTherapy #HealingWithMoney #MoneyControl #MoneyAndFaith A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

The history of the criminal enterprise that was Keith Raniere & Nancy Salzman's cult NXIVM is currently being re-written by its devotees. Most recently, the CBC released a podcast where Allison Mack's minimizes the cult's crimes and her part in coercing and abusing women. Roberta Glass was there in the courtroom for all the pre-trial hearings, much of Keith Raniere's trials as well as the plea and sentencing hearings. In this episode she reviews the crimes that sent Raniere and his co-conspirators to prison.Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by a Patron today! https://patireon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a chanel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinThank you Patrons!Beth, Shelley Safford, Carol Mumumeci, Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Debra Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

In this episode of Killers, Cults & Queens, Nikki and Cheryl interview Stephen Volk, creator of the groundbreaking horror special Ghostwatch. Together they unpack how the show became one of the most influential and controversial moments in British television history.Stephen discusses the evolution of Ghostwatch, how a female-led production shaped its unique tone, and why so many viewers believed the broadcast was real. The conversation also covers the enduring legacy of the show, the shift in media culture with the rise of social media and fake news, and how personal paranormal experiences influence our understanding of the supernatural.We also chat about Stephen's wider career — including his work on Afterlife — and his upcoming book The Confirmed Bachelors.A must-listen for fans of horror TV, paranormal investigations, ghost stories, and behind-the-scenes storytelling.

In this week's Power Lounge, host Amy Vaughan welcomes Dr. Mara Einstein, an internationally recognized authority on deceptive marketing and author of Hoodwinked: How Marketers Use the Same Tactics as Cults. A former TV and advertising executive turned academic and media ethicist, Dr. Einstein pulls back the curtain on the dark psychology behind consumer manipulation. Together, she and Amy dive into the question: When does persuasion cross the line into indoctrination? Listeners are invited to examine the uncomfortable parallels between cult behavior and brand loyalty—and to confront just how easily marketing can tap into our fears, anxieties, and identities.Drawing from her research and insights featured in the Emmy-winning Netflix documentary Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, Dr. Einstein explains how modern marketing operates within what she calls the “anxiety economy.” From endless doom-scrolling to influencer-driven consumerism, she reveals how technology and advertising combine to keep us hooked, anxious, and buying. The conversation unpacks the continuum between brand fandom and fanaticism, using examples from Apple to Weight Watchers to show how manipulation thrives when emotional needs meet persuasive design.But this isn't a hopeless picture—Dr. Einstein also offers guidance for marketers and consumers alike. She challenges professionals to embrace ethics without sacrificing creativity and encourages all of us to become more conscious of how we engage with brands. By replacing reflexive scrolling with mindful consumption and by choosing community over cultish loyalty, listeners can reclaim agency in an economy built on influence. This episode is a must-hear for anyone who wants to understand—and resist—the subtle ways marketing shapes our thoughts, habits, and values.Chapters:00:00 – Intro & Welcome00:50 – Meet Dr. Mara Einstein02:10 – Why Talk About Cults and Marketing?03:30 – How the Book “Hoodwinked” Began05:10 – The Cult–Marketing Continuum06:45 – From Attention Economy to Anxiety Economy08:50 – How Anxiety Fuels Overconsumption10:25 – “Buy Now” and Viewer Reactions12:30 – Black Friday and the “Economic Blackout”14:10 – Conscious Consumption in a Digital World16:00 – The Line Between Persuasion and Manipulation17:30 – The Genius and Ethics of Duolingo's Campaigns18:45 – When Brand Community Becomes Brand Cult20:15 – Weight Watchers: A Case Study in Cult Tactics27:00 – The Role of Social Media in Modern Tribalism31:30 – Identity and the Brands We Choose37:00 – Ethical Marketing and Real Community41:10 – The Danger of Making It Hard to Leave44:30 – How AI and Bots Change the Deception Game50:00 – Building Awareness and Resilience53:00 – Closing Thoughts & Where to Find Dr. EinsteinQuotes:“We don't live in an attention economy — we live in an anxiety economy. The entire system is built to keep us just uncomfortable enough that buying something feels like relief.” - Mara Einstein“It's funny — we call it doom scrolling, and yet we treat it like self-care. The truth is, it's winding us up, not calming us down.” - Amy VaughanKey Takeaways:Anxiety, not attention, drives modern marketing.Persuasion turns toxic when it exploits fear.Brand loyalty can slide into cult behavior.Algorithms feed anxiety for engagement.We shop to soothe stress, not need.Ethical marketing connects, not controls.AI blurs truth and manipulation.Brands now shape personal identity.Awareness breaks the consumer cycle.Conscious choices beat compulsive clicks.Connect with Dr. MaSupport the show

Liz from True Crimes Podcast joins Roberta in exposing episode 3 of the CBC podcast aiming on rehabilitating Allison Mack's image. Episode three largely diminishes the punishments Allison's slaves had to endure under her hands in the DOS (Dominate Over Submissive) group of the NXIVM cult.Subscribe to True Crimes Podcast here- https://youtube.com/@truecrimespodcasts?si=e_IkyL2yXDC8ypKcGet access to exclusive content & support the podcast by a Patron today! https://patireon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a chanel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinThank you Patrons!Beth, Shelley Safford, Carol Mumumeci, Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Debra Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

One of the many great things about "No Kings" is the variety of messaging we saw. Which means a variety of thoughts. For the progress side of America this is both good and bad because messaging can be scattered. As historically, there will always be the "free Tibet" Berkeley hippies there with those fighting for civil rights, affordable healthcare, and upholding the constitution. For the regress side of America, they're messaging is often more homogenized because there is less variety of thought. This unfortunately means its messaging can be parroted and echoed quicker. When we look at the phenomenon of theocratic fascist cults, whether they arise in the deserts of the ancient world or the digital jungles of the modern mind—we are observing the triumph of ideology over experience. These people, who we've said it before and we'll never stop saying it, in their latest incarnation, are in a fascist MAGA cult, nested in a regressive red cult, nested in a faux Abrahamic supremacist religious cult. So these thrice cult fervent disciples speak in unison because the narrow structure they inhabit demands it. Language, that great frontier of the individual spirit, within these tight canyons is commandeered, reduced, and weaponized into a tool of control. The spontaneous bloom of personal insight is replaced by the same dozen tired selfish asshole tropes, "You Marxist", "You Communist", "We're a Republic, not a democracy", "You wanna raise my taxes", etc... SNORE!!!These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos

This video is titled "Cults and Witchcraft with Melissa Fortner" from the channel Conversations with Strangers. It is a two-hour interview discussing Melissa Fortner's journey from being a licensed therapist and academic to joining a witchcraft cult, leaving it, and becoming an entrepreneur.Here is a summary of the key discussion points from the interview:

What do we talk about when talk about empathy & remorse in regards to Mack's role as DOS master and recruiter in NXIVM? How is remorse expressed in Allison Mack's new podcast about her time in and life after Keith Raniere's destructive cult? Where's Mack's empathy for those that she victimized? What does the podcast tell us about Mack's view of her role in NXIVM. What does the future hold for Mack?Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a channnel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinThank you Patrons!Beth, Shelley Safford, Carol Mumumeci, Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Debra Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

Allison Mack rewrites her part in Keith Raniere's #NXIVM cult in the new CBC podcast “Alison After NXIVM”. The podcast significantly changes the timeline of events in order to present Allison Mack as a earnest victim of the cult looking to do good, who broke ties with the cult after Raniere's conviction and who has suffered unwarranted damage to her reputation. I covered the NXIVM case from the courtroom - covering all the pre-trial hearings, many of the plea hearings and all of the sentencing hearings as well as much of Raniere's trial.

Spring of 1842 was a world-shaping event, the introduction of the endowment ceremony by Joseph Smith to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We've talked about it and a few of the more recent changes to the endowment a few times, but this is the overview. What it was when it was introduced, how it changed under Brigham Young, and many of the changes that have happened since his death, all under one (long) segment. Then we talk about Heretic, a movie about two missionaries in a cat-and-mouse game with a well-educated anti-Mormon playing by his own rules. Then we wrap with happy news from ABC and Jimmy Kimmel responding to the government shutdown and SNAP running dry.   Show Notes:  https://addfaith.org/blog/faith/belief/keystonelds/top-10-abandoned-temple-practices-in-latter-day-saint-history/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExVTljWWlzYnQ3cVF2bk1mcHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4ldMRGSktTbiKihaWAr75MQpqYcXLwOH1L_n2_hMARqtaV3AFEhm_CQGyvAQ_aem_A-UXdJKWRl0r9HF-XTHanQ https://mormonr.org/qnas/8yXbNf/changes_to_the_temple_endowment?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21298130384&gbraid=0AAAAApfYZiGCSKCnJskKXVHwOtYoi8FLG&gclid=Cj0KCQiAq7HIBhDoARIsAOATDxAt2apFmzOJxyHKemm-PaDlf5wAy2Yd4mkrE7X-agfFTR0s7wmxAJoaAstJEALw_wcB#footnote-20 https://archive.org/details/historysaints00benngoog/page/n287/mode/2up https://bhroberts.org/records/qmx2mh-44hPsk/william_clayton_describes_the_nauvoo_endowment http://www.ldsendowment.org/timeline.html http://www.ldsendowment.org/emeline.html https://archive.org/details/dialoguebetweena00vand/page/12/mode/2up?q=vengeance http://www.ldsendowment.org/1879.html http://www.ldsendowment.org/1931.html http://www.ldsendowment.org/lecture.html https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/times-and-seasons-1-june-1842/8 https://scholarlypublishingcollective.org/uip/dial/article/20/4/33/236178/The-Development-of-the-Mormon-Temple-Endowment https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V34N0102_87.pdf https://rsc.byu.edu/sites/default/files/pub_content/pdf/Freemasonry_and_the_Latter-day_Saint_Temple_Endowment_Ceremony.pdf http://www.ldsendowment.org/masonry.html https://mormonr.org/qnas/8yXbNf/changes_to_the_temple_endowment/research https://mrm.org/masonry-and-the-mormon-temple-endowment-ceremony https://cesletter.org/debunking-fairmormon/temples-and-freemasonry.html https://www.jstor.org/stable/44368772 https://tokensandsigns.org/2023-temple-changes/ https://bhroberts.org/records/yXnsPd-ZcTVNd/heber_c_kimball_records_in_his_journal_new_arrangements_for_the_endowment_ceremony_such_as_elohim_peter_james_and_john_conducting_adam_and_eve_through_the_telestial_and_terrestrial_kingdoms https://mormonr.org/qnas/8yXbNf/changes_to_the_temple_endowment https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/25154/what-is-the-origin-of-a-phylactery-as-a-soul-jar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koshchei#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKazakhTV20182._Entertaining_etymology._5:10-_1-0 https://bhroberts.org/records/qqPgcb-CrpCyb/in_an_epistle_to_the_relief_society_joseph_smith_cites_masonry_as_an_organization_whose_members_know_how_to_keep_secrets https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/council-of-fifty-minutes-march-1844-january-1846-volume-1-10-march-1844-1-march-1845/389#full-transcript https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/history/topics/temple-endowment?lang=eng https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment_House https://books.google.com/books/about/Temple_Mormonism.html?id=r3TKtgAACAAJ   MOGP: Heretic: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28015403/   Happy News:  https://www.thewrap.com/jimmy-kimmel-live-food-bank-donation-center-government-shutdown/ Other appearances: Chris Shelton interviewed us in the beginning of a series on Mormonism on his Speaking of Cults series.

Why do smart people join dangerous cults, follow bad leaders, or stay silent when they know something's wrong? In this episode, Michael Shermer talks with organizational psychologist Colin Fisher about the science of group dynamics and conformity. From jazz bands to political mobs, Fisher explains how our evolutionary need to belong both unites and blinds us. He discusses the psychology of revenge, polarization, social media extremism, and why our brains are wired to dehumanize "the other." What makes a group innovative instead of dogmatic? And how close are we—really—to turning everyday politics into a cult? Colin M. Fisher is an Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London's School of Management. His research focuses on helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He has written about group dynamics for both popular science and management audiences, and his work has been profiled in prominent media outlets such as BBC, Forbes, NPR, and The Times. His new book is The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups.

Even the smallest actions can change the course of someone's life and, in turn, strengthen the broader community around them. Preventing a suicide or encouraging a person to hold on for just one more day can be influential acts when we know how to approach the subject. As a child psychiatrist, Dr. Diane Kaufman has dedicated her career to this very work. Diane described herself as a “poet, artist, internationally award-winning lyricist, humanism-in-medicine awardee, and retired child psychiatrist.” She also noted herself as “a suicide attempt and loss survivor with Bipolar II Disorder.” She is the founder and director of the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention. This nonprofit uses the power of art to “educate, connect, express, and heal”, as can be read about on their website. Diane is a certified Expressive Arts Educational Facilitator.Diane recommended calling or texting 988 in a crisis to get assistance with difficult conversations where suicidal ideation with or without a plan is occurring. The service is available free of charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This week on Killers, Cults & Queens, Cheryl and Nikki revisit one of the BBC's most infamous moments — Ghostwatch. Broadcast on Halloween night in 1992, the show appeared to be a live investigation into a haunted house… but what viewers didn't know was that it was entirely scripted. The result? Panic, confusion, and a scandal that would see the show banned for over a decade.Join us as we unpick how Ghostwatch blurred the lines between fact and fiction, why it terrified an entire nation, and how it paved the way for the modern horror genre. From Michael Parkinson's chilling final moments to the real-life consequences for viewers, this is the story of the hoax that went too far.Expect spooky nostalgia as we explore the show that made Britain believe in the supernatural — if only for one terrifying night.

Summary Season 4 launches with a field guide to American cults: where they came from, how they function, and what sets them apart from orthodox Christianity. We lay out our two-episode rhythm for each movement (history + doctrine) and explain why this isn't just academic—these are the folks knocking on your door and sitting in your break room. Highlights Walter Martin's working definition of a cult The 1830–1890 surge in the Northeast and the “Burned-Over District” First vs. Second Great Awakening—and how Finney's “new measures” influenced later errors Doctrinal markers: denial of the Trinity, diminished view of Christ, extra-biblical revelation Sociological markers: authoritarian leadership, information control, us-vs-them identity, behavioral rules, shunning, apocalyptic urgency Works/loyalty systems vs. the gospel of grace The real cost of leaving—and how Christians can care well Connect Website & Blog: www.chorusinthechaos.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chorusinthec...

In this episode, special guest Dr. Wind Goodfriend helps us discuss the philosophy and psychology of Cults.

These people always insist MAGA is a cult.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – In an age of endless information, people seek meaning in unlikely places. Cults, Sovereign Citizens, and conspiracy movements promise truth, belonging, and purpose. Each offers hidden knowledge and a sense of control in a chaotic world. Exploring their allure reveals a shared human desire—to matter, to belong, and to find significance amid uncertainty...

Oregon has a reputation in popular culture for its long and weird history with cults. Whether it was for the cheap abundant land, mystic moody vibes, or just the lack of competition from organized religion, many groups have come to our state and set up new eyebrow-raising belief systems. Today, we're revisiting a conversation with Kick Ass Oregon History podcast host Doug Kenck-Crispin about the impact of a few of our state's most notorious cults  — and even one group that exists today.      This episode first aired on Nov. 11, 2024 Mentioned in today's episode: Eden Within Eden: Oregon's Utopian Heritage by James J.

In this episode of Cultish, we explore why Korea has become a center for a new wave of cult movements—and why the global church should pay attention. If Dr. Walter Martin were alive today, he'd likely be addressing the rise of groups like Shincheonji, the World Mission Society Church of God, Jesus Morning Star, and many others now infiltrating churches throughout the Western world.We're joined by Pastor Yang, who serves as an Adjunct Professor of New Testament at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul. He holds a Doctor of Theology in New Testament and, from 2023 to 2024, served as a Visiting Scholar at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois.Also joining us is Chris, a former member of Shincheonji and returning guest, sharing his firsthand experience and ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the growing influence of Korean cults around the world.Partner With Us & Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERESHOP OUR MERCH: HEREPlease consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel: CultishTV.comCultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry. -- Email Chris & Pastor Yang: biblev@daum.net Chris@examiningthecults.org Chris's Website: HEREChris's YouTube: HEREPastor Yang's YouTube: HERE

Michael Jaco and Juan O'Savin return with a bold and revealing conversation exposing the unseen powers shaping global events and the spiritual battle unfolding beneath the surface. Together, they connect the dots between secret cults, elite networks, and the escalating war for election integrity in the United States and beyond. They begin by unpacking the political unrest in Brazil and how it mirrors Donald Trump's fight in America — revealing how the same globalist playbook is being deployed to destabilize sovereign nations and silence populist movements. The discussion intensifies with a detailed look into the Utah and Oregon election integrity lawsuits, uncovering how manipulated voter rolls and systemic corruption could trigger a national emergency declaration to restore lawful elections. From there, the conversation explores the occult symbolism behind Halloween, tracing its ancient origins and its modern use as a psychological tool of mass distraction and control. They connect these dark undercurrents to elite organizations and secret societies that feed off fear and division to maintain dominance. Juan and Michael also examine the global picture — from Venezuela's financial collapse and South Africa's rising chaos to coordinated efforts by Deep State actors and financial cartels to create global instability. Each example reveals how political corruption and spiritual decay are intertwined, driving the world toward both collapse and awakening. They close with a powerful reminder that the real war is not just political but spiritual — a battle for truth, sovereignty, and the awakening of humanity.

Nathalie Robehmed, host of CBC's upcoming Uncovered series, Allison After NXIVM — premiering November 10. The series explores the extraordinary and unsettling journey of Allison Mack, the former Smallville actress who became a high-ranking member of NXIVM, the organization exposed as a dangerous cult, and later a convicted felon. For this new season, Nathalie gains exclusive access to Allison following her release from prison, tracing her path from television stardom to NXIVM's inner circle — and examining her attempts to rebuild her life in the aftermath. Through revealing conversations with those who knew Allison before, during, and after NXIVM, Nathalie dives deep into the gray zones of influence, accountability, and redemption. Kate and Nathalie discuss how this story reframes public perception of Allison Mack, what drew so many to NXIVM's promises of empowerment, and what Uncovered reveals about manipulation, forgiveness, and the complexities of starting over.

A van door slides open at midnight and two strangers say she isn't going home. That moment—engineered by her parents—sent Jacine into a notorious WWASP “behavioral program” in Mexico where abuse and brainwashing replaced help. We go where most stories don't. Jacine Jadresko breaks down how she hacked punitive level systems as a teen, the toll it took, and why high-functioning addiction hid in plain sight for years. She shares two fentanyl overdoses, the mindset shift that ended heroin, and the unglamorous habits that keep her steady. Then we step into the Amazon: earning hunters' respect, learning to mix plant poisons, blow-darting a monkey on the first try, and tasting the difference between survival and spectacle. This is a story of pure survival, never heard before.

With the recent tragic death of Christian and political activist Charlie Kirk, it is more essential than ever for us as Christians to move forward in civil dialogue with those who are not Christians about what it means to be human. From Ancient Greece and Rome to our culture today, it is clear that a lack of understanding of who God really inevitably results in not properly understanding who we are as human beings. This week we continue our conversation with historian, author, and mother Nadya Williams about what we can learn from history about the sanctity and value of human life and be encouraged to hold fast to our confession of faith, for a world that needs real hope. Nadya Williams (from the publisher website): Nadya Williams (PhD, Princeton) walked away from academia after fifteen years as a professor of history and classics. She is now a homeschool mom, book review editor at Current, and a contributing editor at Providence magazine. She is the author of Cultural Christians in the Early Church (Zondervan Academic, 2023), and numerous articles and essays in Current, Plough, Christianity Today, Front Porch Republic, Fairer Disputations, Law and Liberty, Church Life Journal, and others. She and her husband, Dan, are parents to one adult son and two children still at home. They live and homeschool in Ashland, a small town near Cleveland, Ohio.Mothers, Children, and the Body Politic (book).
