THE death of a 49-year-old woman in
Scotland in September brought to three
the number of no-food, no-water,
“breatharian”-diet followers of
Australian Ellen Greve who have died of
starvation in cwo years. Greve claims
5,000 disciples, charges more than
$2,000 US per ticket for her seminars,
and sells her philosophy (“liberation
from the drudgery of teod and drink”)
to Westerners in part to confer a spiritu-
ality on Third World hunger. Eating-dis-
order specialists quoted by the Times of
London said. of course, that there is ne
scientific basis for Greve’s teachings.

In August, Bob Thompsen, who had
just sold his Thompson-MeCully road-
building firm in Belleville, Mich., for
$422 million, dished out $128 million
of it in bonuses to his 550 workers, with
cach of 80 managers and salaried work-
ers receiving an annuity worth at least
SI million. Thompson said the gift was
warranted because the company’s suc-
cess is “dependcat on people.” Said one
worker to Thompson, “(T)here’s
nobody else in this world who wouid
have done what you did.”

Layaway for Christmas —

people are still imprisoned for tengthy
sentences entirely as a result of wildly
inconsistent and ineavily coached testi-
mony from children that they were ritu-
alistically molested years ago by adults at
day-care centres in Massachusetts and
North Carolina and as part of a wave of
sexual abuse in Wenatchee, Wash.,
though appeals court decisions in
August and September increased to nine
the number of people subsequently
released. Former Wenatchee police Det.
Robert Perez continues to tour the state
defending his arrests, which began with
allegations by his then-10-year-old fos-
ter daughter (whom he later admitted
roughing up when she tried to change
her story) that dozens of adults had sex
with dozens of children in dozens of
places in town weekly for nearly six
years.

Bright Ideas; In a Scettler, Alberta,
courtroom in Junc, police describing
their arrest of David Zurfluh, 18, told
how Zurfiuh, in the back of a squad car
after being stopped for drini‘ing and dri-
ving, ripped a large swath: from. his
undershoris and stuffed it in his mouth,
hoping, he later said, to absorb the afco-
hol in his breath before taking a
Breathalyzer test. Though the court-

room was in stitches, Zurfluh had the
last laugh when the judge dismissed the
charge after officers admitted that
Zurtluh’s reading was not high enough.
