A portion of today&#8217;s tape was played.             <\/p>\n<p>Jim entered. He inquired whether everybody was ready for the  written test and on being told that most had not heard the news today, he said  asked who had heard yesterday&rsquo;s news. Few had. He said we would definitely have  a written test tomorrow.&nbsp; He then gave a  list of questions and asked for volunteers to answer them. These people joined  the line and Jim promised a reward this time for &ldquo;positive reinforcement&rdquo;  People who answered got a half day off. Those who answered only partially got 1  hour or 2.<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of questioning, Jim spent some time on the Huey  Newton article. Showed around a copy of magazine &ldquo;New Times&rdquo; with painting of  Huey, makes him worse than Manson. Geared to those who can&rsquo;t read and those who  can. They don&rsquo;t have to assassinate any more. The media shoot him down. Some  people can&rsquo;t stand this type of attack. All they had was their public image.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Original  picture of page in <strong>.pdf<\/strong> file:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ER78July28entry.jpg\" alt=\"July 28 1978 Journal entry\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/jonestown.sdsu.edu\/?page_id=35667\">Back to Edith Roller<\/a><\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em><a href=\"#Top\">Back to the Top<\/a><\/em><\/strong>   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcribed from her handwritten notes by Don Beck RYMUR-89-4286-C-3-A-1 (2) Download Word (.doc) version of July 1978 Aside from the single entry below \u2013 found on second page of the August pdf \u2013 nothing more of the July Journal has surfaced.
