In John They Trust | People & Places | Smithsonian Magazine - 0 views

  •  
    An article about a Cargo Cult, that all but worships a man named John Frum. "John promised he'll bring planeloads and shiploads of cargo to us from America if we pray to him," a village elder tells me as he salutes the Stars and Stripes. "Radios, TVs, trucks, boats, watches, iceboxes, medicine, Coca-Cola and many other wonderful things."
