While commuter-country congregations are busy fund-raising for so-called plant expansion, their city cousins are trying to figure out how to use the plants they have.

This was a mere overture to a long vaudeville show of astonishment presented in Rampa's account of his Tibetan life, The Third Eye (Doubleday; $3.50). Other attractions included levitation, riding in kites ("horrible swayings and bobbings did unpleasant things to my stomach"), man-mauling Siamese cats, Abominable Snowmen, and a visit...
