...compromise of ISKCON's eastern traditions. The use of Hare Krishna Santa Clauses for fundraising is a case in point. ISKCON is, after all, transplanting a religion that places a strong emphasis on the spiritual world into a materialistic culture. However, the basic religious tenets of ISKCON do not differ from its fellow Vaishnava sects in India. ISKCON adheres to the same rituals and doctrines of other Vaishnava sects and has not compromised the basic Vaishnava religious traditions in coming to the United States, Diana L. Eck, assistant professor of Religion, who has studied the sects, says...
...move to the larger issue, I disagree with Mr. Emmerich's assessment that CUE meetings are "secret." Although interpretations may differ, I believe (as does Webster's) that "secret" means keeping information from general knowledge.

For Lévesque, the solution is a homogeneous, independent state where Quebecois...
Dayan insisted last week that he had made no such promise about the settlements, but a U.S. official snapped: "Our notes [from the September meeting] differ." Another Administration official was more blunt. "They're lying," he said. "There's no other way to call it." Sadat was expected to ask Carter to put pressure on Israel to dismantle the settlements. As one U.S. official in Jerusalem put it, "We don't like it, but what can we do? We can't stop a sovereign government from doing what it wants." Nonetheless, American diplomats are troubled by a feeling that Jerusalem...
