| Sommario/riassunto: | Heaven's Gate, a secretive group of celibate ""monks"" awaiting pickup by a UFO, captured intense public attention in 1997 when its members committed collective suicide. As a way of understanding such perplexing events, many have seen those who join cults as needy, lost souls, unable to think for themselves. |
