...lots of good times with the enraptured Baba-lovers. They like to say that Baba used the spiritual energy of his 1962 East-West Gathering in India to safely pass the world through the Cuban missile crisis which occurred at the same time.

Keith Barish, 26, chairman of the top holding company, is a onetime White House intern who conceived the idea for the fund and has made millions from the venture. Rafael G. Navarro, 34, Gramco's president, is a wealthy Cuban refugee who was a diplomat in pre-Castro days. And then there is the portly Salinger, 45, the former White House press secretary; he serves as a Gramco director, spokesman, supersalesman and deputy chairman of the British unit...
