The truth, they say, is not half so important as what people believe to be true. Throughout history, men and women have been manipulated for ends both good and evil, practiced upon by the state, by business and industry, by employers, parents, children, friends, and lovers. Resistance to manipulation must begin with understanding.
Sapir Handelman is an Israeli Associate at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, and Lentz Fellow in Peace and Conflict Resolution Research at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
