     In this world there are cults everywhere.  Whether they're in the US,
China, or maybe next-door there is always one common factor, control.  Charles
Manson was a cult leader in southern California during the sixties.  Like all
cult leaders Manson had his own small band of followers.  His influence was so
great that his followers were willing to kill for him at his smallest whim.
     Charles Manson was very paranoid and was under the influnce that there
was to be an upcoming race war.  He called this race war “Helter Skelter”.

     Charles M. Manson was born in Cincinnati on November 11, 1934.  His
mother Kathleen Maddox, a teenage prostitute, his father was a man remembered as
“Colonel Scott.”  In order to give her bastard son a name she married William
Manson.  He quickly abandoned the both of them.  In 1939 Kathleen Maddox was

     When Mrs. Manson got fed up with taking care of Charles she arranged to
have Charles put in a foster home, but arrangements fell through.  As a last
resort she sent Charles to Gibault School in Terre Haute.  Mrs. Manson couldn't
keep up the payments and once again Charles was sent back to his mother's abuse.
At only fourteen Manson rented himself a room and supported himself with odd
jobs and petty theft.  His mother turned him into the juvenile authorities.
Once there Manson met Rev. George Powers who had him sent to Boys Town near
Omaha, Nebraska.  Charles spent a total of three days in Boys Town before
