There are only two models when you are in a disintegrating civilization, the Roman and the Lindisfarne. Lindisfarne were the monastery schools in Britain that held on to knowledge during the Dark Ages. They had no power. Each abbot, each visionary, was the guru of his particular place...
Incidentally, it's very interesting that any guru who has any kind of thing going for him is heading for the U.S.: Tibetan, Indian-all of them. They've all got this heavy message: "The planetary transformation and human evolution are going to occur through the instrumentality of the U.S." The blacks too are more into the culture in the U.S., bad as the problems are, than in Africa.

Almost half were disenchanted defectors from Esalen, the encounter center at Big Sur, Calif...
...Craig Claiborne, who retired last year after 14 years as gastronomic guru of the New York Times, is back in print with an excellent but expensive ($36 a year) biweekly newsletter on the joys of eating well. A sort of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sauce Béarnaise But Were Afraid to Ask, the eight-page Craig Claiborne Journal promises a complete course for the conscientious gourmet: recipes for lentil soup as well as filets mignons Grimod de la Reynière, a serialized Dictionary of Gastronomy and reviews of restaurants at home and abroad that Claiborne...
