...Discover I can sign for packages and open the ones from DHL (but not UPS). I can meet with an editor to discuss ideas, using for emphasis Zorba the Greek dance (works well) and Andy Samberg impression (not so much). Interviewing's a bust: subject asks if I'm vacuuming...

Every day, buses and cars crammed with bicycles, stereos and followers of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh pull away from the main gate of the guru's now defunct commune in the remote hills of Oregon. Since the Rajneesh pleaded guilty to a federal charge of immigration violation and departed last month for India, after firing a bitter parting shot at the U.S. ("I never want to return"), his 1,300 disciples have been scattering like college...
