Jim Jones'
"rainbow
coalition" of men,
women and
children of allages and races --
died from
drinking cyanide-
laced Flavor-Aid.
Some may have
been coerced bya cadre of armed
guards. At least
287 of the people
murdered in
Guyana were
children, and SanFrancisco's
"politics as
usual" made it all
possible.
