...Boston there are enough swamis for a softball team. Harvey Cox, Gallagher Professor of Divinity, said in his book Turning East that Cambridge is so full of holy men it should be rechristened the "Benares-on-the-Charles." Just walking through the Square you can hear an impassioned plea for a peculiar form of world peace from a member of the Unification Church, sample being "processed" by Scientology aficionados, and glance at a poster asking "have you seen the Lenticular Clouds today?" which discusses the conscious, playful clouds that have "been appearing" lately.
