Two good pieces on the 30th anniversary of the Jonestown suicides:
In the LA Weekly, From Silver Lake to Suicide: One Family's Secret History of the Jonestown Massacre. Letters home from a family that eventually drank the Kool-Aid.
And Dan Flynn on the cultural rebranding of the People's Temple as having been fundamentalist and religious in nature, from what it unapologetically was...a communistic cult. (via Corner).
