has graphic descriptions of abuse - Victims break their silence 2/29/04 by Victor Manuel Ramos "All these years later, he can still close his eyes and feel the haunting stare of the wiry young man who he said started fondling him a few weeks into computer classes when he was 10 years old. Jesse Friedman, then 17 or 18, was supposed to be teaching the boy -- assigned the name "Gregory Doe" by law enforcement officials -- how to convert the basic binary language of the Commodore 64 computer for use on his own Apple IIc. "Uncle Jesse" -- as Gregory was told to call him -- was showing him other things as well, he recounted. Right there in the middle of the class, out among the other students in the basement room of Arnold Friedman's Great Neck home, Gregory Doe said the abuse started when Jesse Friedman slid his hand onto his thighs and started rubbing. He told Gregory to relax then groped him some before reaching inside his pants." "In 1987, Gregory was one of the 17 boys who told Nassau law enforcement officials that they had been abused at the Friedmans' home on Piccadilly Road. Of these, 13 would later testify before a grand jury to substantiate criminal charges against Jesse Friedman, his father, Arnold, and another teenager, Ross Goldstein, 17. As their separate trials approached in 1988, father and son both changed their pleas from not guilty to guilty. So did Goldstein." "Jesse was the scariest of all of them to my son," one Long Island mother of a then-7-year-old boy told Newsday. She and her husband both asked that their identity be withheld to protect their son's privacy. "Jesse is the bogeyman in the covers, the bogeyman under the bed. Even when he is fifty years old, Jesse will be the bogeyman under the bed." She said the popularity of the documentary and Friedman's return to court asking that his conviction be overturned was "disgusting" and "nauseating." Innocence was what her son lost, she said. "I see this media circus that Jarecki has generated to promote this film as an unjustified and cynical attack on the defenders of these children and therefore supportive of those who would victimize them," she said." ""Gregory Doe said he does not need hypnosis to remind him of what the Friedmans did to him. His family sent him to a private therapist after he provided his statement to police but prior to his appearance before the grand jury. The therapist used hypnosis, he said, to try and get him to the point where he could talk about what had been done to him without throwing up. He said Jesse Friedman abused him first, followed by Arnold and Goldstein, and that he was made to undress, assume sexual positions and perform and receive oral sex. The most horrid abuse took place during one-on-one makeup sessions when he was left alone with Arnold Friedman. He said both father and son committed forcible sodomy on him multiple times. He said Arnold and Jesse made him and others play leapfrog naked. Galasso, the retired chief detective on the case, said Gregory's interview with Newsday was consistent with his original statement to police." "Diagnosed in his preteen years, Gregory said he has persistent rectal bleeding from the abuse. Memories aside, the physical scar will never let him forget. "This is the constant reminder I live with every day," Gregory said, "that I was abused." http://www.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/ny-friedman0229,0,2239959.story?coll=ny-linews-headlines
Psychiatry 64(4)Winter 2001 319 The Contribution of Early Traumatic Events to Schizophrenia in Some Patients: A Traumagenic Neurodevelopmental Model John Read, Bruce D. Perry, Aandrew Moskowitz,and Jan Connolly "The current diathesis-stress model of schizophrenia proposes that a genetic deficit creates a predisposing vulnerability in the form of oversenstivity to stress. This model positions all psychosocial events on the stress side of the diathesis-stress equation. As an example of hypotheses that emerge when consideration is given to repositioning adverse life events as potential contributors to the diathesis,this article examines one possible explanation for the high prevalence of child abuse found in adults diagnosed schizophrenic. A traumagenic neurodevelopmental (TN) model of schizophrenia is presented, documenting the similarities between the effects of traumatic events on the developing brain and the biological abnormalities found in persons diagnosed with schizophrenia, including overreactivity of the hypothalamic -pituitary -adrenal (HPA)axis; dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin abnormalities; and structural changes to the brain such as hippocampal damage, cerebral atrophy, ventricular enlargement, and reversed cerebral asymmetry. The TN model offers potential explanations for other findings in schizophrenia research beyond oversensitivity to stress, including cognitive impairment, pathways to positive and negative symptoms, and the relationship between psychotic and dissociative symptomatology." http://www.childtrauma.org/CTAMATERIALS/Psychiatry_02.pdf
from L- Moss-Sharman Son Wants Man to Stay in Prison - The witness insists that he was molested by his father. Others have recanted testimony that helped to convict the man 19 years ago. By John Johnson 2/26/04 Bakersfield "A man who has spent the past 19 years in prison for crimes he says he didn't commit faced his greatest obstacle to freedom Wednesday: his son. As John Stoll sat at the defense table, Jed Stoll, a grim-faced 25-year-old carpet layer from Maryland, testified that his father repeatedly molested him when he was a child....Prosecutors in 1984 contended the elder Stoll was the leader of a ring of molesters and child pornographers who abused at least a half dozen children
in their middle-class neighborhood. Investigators said adults gave children drugs, then filmed sex parties with them, though no film or pictures were ever found. The hearing to determine whether Stoll should get a new trial or win his freedom was called after four of the six original alleged victims recently came forward to say they were never touched....The fifth alleged victim testified in January he has no memory of abuse, making Stoll's son the key witness." http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-molest26feb26,1,3030761.story?coll=la-headlines-california

In '71 Antiwar Words, a Complex View of Kerry
by TODD S. PURDUM
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 â On April 22, 1971, John Kerry, a decorated 27-year-old Navy veteran of two tours in Vietnam, electrified the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with his passionate testimony against the war, and with tales from fellow veterans about "the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do" in Southeast Asia.
Summarizing the accounts of American soldiers he had heard at an antiwar conference in Detroit weeks earlier, Mr. Kerry said the men told how "they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam."
