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]. Yigal Arens UC Berkeley (soon USC)
