520    "The 1980s saw the peak of a moral panic over fantasy role
       -playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons. A coalition 
       of moral entrepreneurs that included the Christian Right, 
       psychologists, and law enforcement claimed these games 
       were not only psychologically dangerous but an occult 
       religion masquerading as a game. Dangerous Games explores 
       both the history and the sociological significance of this
       panic"--Provided by publisher.
