...popcorn pass-along was part of a two-hour Christian Communion service conducted entirely in mime and gesture by the Rev. Floyd Shaffer, the red-and-white clown, who is really a Lutheran minister from Roseville, Mich. Both services and parades were among the highlights of a weeklong workshop on the use of clowning, mime, puppetry and dance in Christian worship and ministry that attracted some 350 people to the campus of New Orleans' Loyola University. More than 400 attended a second gathering earlier this month in Ithaca, N.Y. The participants spent their time learning how to juggle (concentration...
...wonders to perform. He operates within a paltry budget of $250,000 a year, most of which comes from his books and lectures, the sale of bells made on the site, and the $300 fees paid by those who come to toil on the project for a five-week workshop period.

Maybe you need German Paratrooper Boots? Or a knife called the Dwarf ("the bastard of the mating of wormeaten wood with twisted steel.") Or perhaps you are "ready for the fun and excitement of the M-19 A" submachine gun? All are available...

Using methods learned in the course, more than 1,500 residents of the Phoenix area have installed solar systems. The DOE will now spend $1 million to establish the same kind of workshop in every other state...
