activity. Though a regular activity in the
seventies, hazing, a possible dangerous act of
initiation to a group, has now become an activity

dangerous. Since it has been b...

and his reflections on life deserve credit. Besson

of children who attended Mc Martin Preschool were
molested by the couple who ran it, Charles and
Peggy Bucket, or any of the other seven accused
defendants. Along ...
