Prosperity Training is the brainchild of Leo Sunshine, 28, a blond, muscular former jewelry dealer who legally changed his name from Brian Murphy. "Abundance is a natural state," declares Sunshine, who, with profits from his Oakland jewelry business, invested in gold and silver and says he is already rich enough to live off his investments. "I want to bring the fundamentals of prosperity to those who want to clear out their self-limiting attitudes and conditioning." As a teaching aid, he holds up-and argues with-a hand puppet he calls El Protecto, which is supposed to represent a little...
...terms of military brawn, this year's parade was twice as muscular as the one in 1976, when the Kremlin cut back on the traditional flaunting of military hardware after city officials complained that parading armor tore up the pavement. This time 336 Soviet heavy weapons and mechanized vehicles clattered through Red Square, compared with 151 in 1976. Some of the speeches, too, were steelier.

Although its size is difficult even to guess at-estimates range between a few dozen members to hundreds-the community is said to be run by separate "central committees" in Puerto Rico and on the U.S. mainland. On the island, says José, terrorist cells tend to have half...
...ending of The Immigrants is unexpectedly peaceful and happy after the turbulent and troubled tale Fast spins through most of the 389 pages. Almost any other author would have left Dan Lavette dead, his stomach perforated with ulcers. But Fast leaves him tanned, muscular and poor, smelling of fish and brine, married at last to the Chinese lover he would not wed before. One can almost see Fast the grinning Zen Buddhist, sitting in his solar-heated home, tying off the novel with a quote from Lao Tzu about the wisdom of stepping off the merry-go-round of ambition...
