A large, interesting, and quite disturbing subset of the reader e-mails I’ve

been getting on the torture issue consists of accounts of the reader’s

hazing experience at the hands of a college fraternity. Good grief! I

didn’t know half this stuff went on.

If you’ve just been tapped for a college fraternity and are curious to know

what you might have to go through by way of initiation, you might want to do

a close reading of the Abu Ghraib scandals.
