Today's San Francisco Examiner had some interesting news items I thought
people in net-land would like to share...

First a headline:

	"Car flips, kills San Mateo man"

[I wonder if it can get off with an insanity plea].

Then this:

	Cult kicks out a pioneer
	========================

MIAMI BEACH -- Leaders of the Hare Krishna cult have excommunicated Hans
Kary, one of the group's first American members, for being too bizarre.  But
Kary's secretary says the real reason is he was against soliciting donations
in airports.  Members of the Governing Body Comission excommunicated Kary in
a meeting here Saturday, citing "bizarre, aberrant behavior" by Kary and
declared he had become an embarrassment to the group.  At one time Kary
headed the Krishna movement on the West Coast...

[If that's grounds for excommunication I'm afraid we won't be seeing these
guys around for long].
