Description
ON LEARNING that the suspect aboard Northwest Flight 235 on Christmas Day was a young Nigerian born to privilege and wealth, I again thought of a girl I once knew--I'll call her Alice Kim. When I was a grad student in charge of a freshman dorm suite, Alice was the most promising student on our floor. She had wit, smarts, charm, and energy to spare. Her fellow froshies quickly elected her floor captain. Everything went fine for the first few weeks. Then a fundamentalist cult got hold of Alice. Already a devout Christian (her father was a minister), she swallowed their bait whole. No more dining with suitemates--the cult would send a car to take her away for meals. No more hanging out in the hallway. Alice quit taking part in any dorm activities. Not long after, she stopped going to classes. I tried to reach her, as did other students, and even her parents came in to plead with her, all to no avail. Before the end of the semester, Alice was gone.
