...what he calls "radical autonomy." America, he says, is "an emotional desert. That's why they come out here." The ashram's new publicist, Swami Krishna Prem, a former Montreal ad writer, says, "We're not really in India. We could be anywhere." And save a lot on air fare...

If the Government was right that many times, the country would be in a lot better shape. Schachter I have no hangup about getting help on a call. But I wouldn't like to see an official say, "Hey, that was a tough call; let me see the instant replay." Schachter on the disputed calls I saw one of them while...
