If the neighbors had followed the Adyar Theosophical literature
written during the twenties through the forties, they would have
had plenty to be scared about without resorting to idiotic
stories about revolutionary manuals.  Perhaps it is just more fun
to be scared about things that aren't true, then to be genuinely
upset about things that are.
