The Enemy Within (44 page)

 
CHAPTER TEN

The two most authoritative works on anti-Masonry are Paul Goodman,
Towards a Christian Republic: Antimasonry and the Great Transition in New England, 1826-1836
(New York, 1988), and William Preston Vaughn,
The Antimasonic
Party in the United States, 1826-1843
(Lexington, Ky., 1983); both have been extensively mined for this chapter. See also: Ronald P. Formisano and Kathleen Smith Kutolowski, “Antimasonry and Masonry: The Genesis of Protest, 1826-1827,” in
American Quarterly
, 29:139- 65 (1977); Kutolowski, “Freemasonry and Community in the Early Republic: The Case for Antimasonic Activities,”
American Quarterly
, 34:543- 61 (1982); Kutolowski, “Antimasonry Reexamined: Social Bases of the Grass-Roots Party,”
Journal of American History
, 71:269-93 (1984); and Michael F. Holt, “The Antimasonic and Know Nothing Parties,” in
History of U.S. Political Parties
, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., ed. (New York, 1973), vol. 1, 583-89. These works, in turn, are based on primary research in anti-Masonic newspaper and pamphlet literature, local records, and personal papers; a large file of such material has been gathered by Paul Goodman and deposited at the Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

 
CHAPTER ELEVEN

The coverage of this chapter is very broad; so, too, are its bibliographical foundations. The opening section, on the survival of witchcraft belief in America after the 17th century, draws on research into folklore and local history; see, for example, Samuel A. Drake,
A Book of New England Legends and Folklore
(Boston, 1902). On the gradual decline in the strength and salience of such belief, see John Demos,
Entertaining Satan: Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England
(New York, 1982), 387-94, and Herbert Leventhal,
In the Shadow of the Enlightenment: Occultism and Renaissance Science in Eighteenth-Century America
(New York, 1976). On modern-day Wicca and related “neo-pagan” practice, a useful introduction is Sabrina Magliocco,
Witching Culture: Folklore and Neo-Paganism in America
(Philadelphia, 2004). For a detailed, ethnographic portrayal, see T. M. Luhrmann,
Persuasions of the Witch's Craft
(Cambridge, Mass., 1989). On the historical roots of the movement, especially the key role played by Gerald Broussard Gardner, see Ronald Hutton,
The Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft
(New York, 1999). For an insider's viewpoint, see Vivianne Crowley,
Wicca: The Old Religion in a New Millennium
(London, 1996). The discussion of “paranoid” elements in 18th-century Anglo-American thought reflects the work of Bernard Bailyn and Gordon S. Wood; see especially Wood's essay, “Conspiracy and the Paranoid Style: Causality and Deceit in the Eighteenth Century,”
William and Mary Quarterly,
third ser., 39:401-41 (1982). Two studies of related import are Richard Hofstadter, “The Paranoid Style in American Politics,” in
The Paranoid Style in American Politics, and Other Essays
(New York, 1965), and David Brion Davis,
The Fear of Conspiracy: Images of Un-American Subversion from the Revolution to the Present
(Ithaca, N.Y., 1971). The best (indeed the only) substantial work on response to the Bavarian Illuminati is Vernon Stauffer,
New England and the Bavarian Illuminati
(New York, 1918). On anti-Masonry, see the references for chapter 10. The most recent, and authoritative, account of the Haymarket affair is James R. Green,
Death in the Haymarket: A Story of Chicago, the First Labor Movement, and the Bombing That Divided Gilded-Age America
(New York, 2006). Writings on the history of modern Red Scares are voluminous. For a good overview, see M. J. Heale,
American Anticommunism: Combating the Enemy Within, 1830-1970
(Baltimore, Md., 1990). Other works consulted for the present chapter include: William Preston, Jr.,
Aliens and Dissenters: Federal Suppression of Radicals, 1903-1933
(Chicago, 1963); Murray B. Levin,
Political Hysteria in America: The Democratic Capacity for Repression
(New York, 1971); David Caute,
The Great Fear: The Anti-Communist Purge Under Truman and Eisenhower
(New York, 1978); Michael J. Ybarra,
Washington Gone Crazy: Senator Pat McCarran and the Great American Communist Hunt
(Hanover, N.H., 2004); Ellen Shrecker,
Many Are the Crimes: McCarthyism in America
(New York, 1998); and David Oshinsky,
A Conspiracy So Immense: The World of Joe McCarthy
(New York, 1983). The chapter's concluding section, on the day-care child sex-abuse “crisis,” draws together newspaper reports, magazine articles, legal briefs, psychological evaluations, and other pertinent material. Book-length studies of this topic are as yet relatively few. But, for the McMartin case, see Paul Eberle and Shirley Eberle,
The Abuse of Innocence: The McMartin Preschool Trial
(Buffalo, N.Y., 1993). On McMartin, along with several other cases, see Debbie Nathan and Michael Snedeker,
Satan's Silence: Ritual Abuse and the Making of a Modern American Witch Hunt
(New York, 1995). The latter work includes in chapter 7 an especially effective review of the debate on the validity of child testimony, material that is otherwise scattered through professional journals. For a brilliant exploration of a single “sex ring” case in Olympia, Washington, see Lawrence Wright,
Remembering Satan
(New York, 1994).

 
CHAPTER TWELVE

For a passionately written account of the Fells Acres case, see Dorothy Rabinowitz,
No Crueler Tyrannies: Accusation, False Witness, and Other Terrors of Our Times
(New York, 2001), 1-46, 63-95, 123-37, 166-209. Otherwise the relevant material is too recent to have been carefully assembled; much of it is found in court transcripts and day-to-day newspaper coverage. (See especially the
Boston Globe
and the
Boston Herald American
.) Two recent conferences at the Harvard Law School were aimed at unraveling the key legal issues. The first, “The Day Care Child Sex Abuse Phenomenon” (Nov. 17, 2000), was sponsored by the Criminal Justice Institute of Harvard Law School, the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the American Civil Liberties Union; its agenda included Fells Acres along with other, similar cases. The second, “The Harvard Law School Forum on Fells Acres” (April 4, 2003), focused on the Fells Acres episode alone.
