Gita Mehta's witty documentary satire illustrates that the cost can be considerably higher. This is especially true for the thousands of Europeans and Americans who have flocked to the Indian subcontinent in search of enlightenment, cheap dope and, like the Californian who turned her sadhana into a course on "inner environments," opportunity. As reckoned by the Hindus and Gore Vidal, this dark, chaotic age of Kali seethes with confusions, corruption and misapprehension.

...catch, Horner's first of the day, began another superb outing for the senior Californian who fought double and triple coverage all day long. His five catches for 99 yds. gave diminutive--5-ft. 8-in. and 150 lbs.--receiver 34 receptions and 576 yds. for the year, and extended his lead among Ivy League pass catchers. With two games left in the year, Horner's season is already the fourth best in Harvard history...
