January 13, 1994, Boston Globe, The Sons of Jonestown; They survived the massacre their father staged in 1978, but Stephan Jones and Jim Jones Jr. are still struggling with his grim legacy, by Irene Sege, Globe Staff;

Fifteen years after they refused their father's summons back to Jonestown because they were having such fun playing ball, they both reside in the San Francisco Bay area, [Jim Jones Jr.] in Pacifica and [Stephan Gandhi Jones] in San Rafael, where they live with their wives and children. Jim, now 33, is director of respiratory therapy at San Mateo County General Hospital. Stephan, 34, is operations manager for a firm that installs office furniture. The third surviving brother, [Tim Jones], an adopted son who lived with the family from age 11, runs a furniture business in the Bay Area.

The two dozen people Jim lost in Jonestown include his parents, three siblings, all adopted, his wife and unborn child, three sisters-in-law, one brother-in-law, four nephews, three nieces, Stephan's girlfriend and two children other women bore his father. In addition to Stephan and Tim, one sister, who left the temple before the move to Guyana, is still alive.

February 17, 1980, Boston Globe, The Strongest Poison," by Mark Lane. Hawthorn Books. 494 pp. $12.95.


In "The Strongest Poison," his investigation of the Jonestown affair, [Mark Lane] has written a convincing, painstakingly detailed account of his involvement with the Peoples Temple. He has, furthermore, presented a remarkable amount of new information about many of the principals involved and has enumerated the many lapses and inconsistencies in the handling of the event by the State Department and in the reporting of the massacre by the press. The forces, personalities and events which combined to produce the Jonestown Massacre are the components of a peculiar American tragedy for which Watergate, various CIA and FBI abuses and other breakdowns in our system have prepared us. It is a meal no longer so indigestible as it is unpalatable.


Lane's association with the Peoples Temple began only two months prior to the massacre. He had visited Jonestown once before returning to accompany US Rep. Leo Ryan (whose opinion of Jonestown was favorable, though he was wary of [Jim Jones] himself).


Prior to reading Lane's book, I read another Jonestown book, [John Peer Nugent]'s "White Night," a rather linear description of events. Thus I had a handy basis for comparison. What Nugent has added to the Jonestown story is proof that there is no such thing as an isolated incident. He demonstrates that every historical incident has numerous antecedents.




April 9, 2007, Boston Globe, page C.8, 'Jonestown' vividly recalls horror of mass suicide, by Sam Allis;

It was in Jonestown, a sick community claiming a utopian mantle in the wilds of Guyana, that 909 people drank cyanide-laced Kool-Aid on Nov. 18, 1978. This was, according to "Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple," airing tonight on WGBH, the largest mass murder-suicide in history.

Kudos to Stanley Nelson for producing and directing this show, and to Marcia Smith and Noland Walker for writing it. The taut pacing leads, and then hurtles, inexorably toward the grisly end we vaguely remember but have largely forgotten. This includes the murder of congressman Leo Ryan, who visited Jonestown at the request of constituents concerned about relatives trapped there.

The program gains intimacy through the appalling memories of survivors along with its rich cache of film clips. Together, they bring us into Peoples Temple as no narrator can. You can almost smell the fetid jungle air in Jonestown.



January 12, 2007, Boston Globe, page D.8, 'Jonestown' recounts descent into madness, by Ty Burr,

As the congregation grew, so did Jones's delusional sense of self. "Some people see a great deal of God in my body," he preaches, and he made sure his female faithful saw that body. [Stanley Nelson] interviews a handful of Jonestown survivors, including author Deborah Layton, who tells of forced sex with Jones. Dazed, she says she went along with it because he was a supreme being; dazed, his flock gave over their earnings and homes to the Peoples Temple. When the press started digging dirt, the church fled en masse for the jungles of Guyana.

"Nobody joins a cult - you just join people you really like," says one of the survivors in Stanley Nelson's documentary "Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple." Harrowing and inexorable, the film recaptures the progressive insanity of Jim Jones and the hundreds of worshipers in his thrall, and it certainly gives you willies to last for days. As good as it is, though, "Jonestown," which will air on PBS's "American Experience" in April, never quite burrows to the mystery at its center. You leave with more questions than answers.
