Flowers Growing by Jonestown Pavilion

Original caption: Jonestown, Guyana: A 25-man work crew of the Guyanese government is making a half-hearted attempt to keep the jungle from reclaiming Jonestown. Flowers continue to grow outside the main assembly pavilion at Rev. Jim Jones' promised Marxist "heaven on earth," where a year ago 913 Peoples Temple cultists perished in mass murder-suicides. The only survivors from Jonestown still around the scene of the tragedy are the goats on a livestock farm a mile and a half from the main compound, plus two cats and a dog named "Fluffy."

Survivers Of Jonestown Mass Suicide

Survivors Of Jonestown Mass Suicide

Original caption:11/29/1978-New York, NY: Grever Davis, 79, one of seven elderly survivors of the Jonestown mass murder-suicide who were flown back to the U.S. walks briefly through heavy security shortly after arrival. A medical director at Kennedy Airport examined the seven and said they "are in very good condition, by and large, considering what they been through."

Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple tell us this man's name is really Grover Cleveland Davis, and that does sound right. "Grever" sounds like something out of a blackface Andy of Mayberry serial, not that there's anything wrong with that. They also say he was 78.

But isn't "Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple" the clunkiest name imaginable? It veers into a satire on intellectual pretentiousness. The married couple staffing the website seem to have a pretty conventional take on things. If they want alternative, I'll make their eyes roll back in their heads.  But if they're really fronting
