At a time of massive chaotic disorders, crises upon crises, leaders who r:annot be believed, the shatter- ing of the "American Dream," those who have been conditioned to live on dreams and through trusted leadership have need of simplistic new answers to replace those that have been shattered. Thus the late sixties and early seventies have witnessed a parade of instant salvations prancing noisily across the stage of our decaying culture: Krishnas, religious fundamentalists who promise pie in the sky to replace that lost through higner food prices here on earth, Guru Mahara-ji, Maharishi Yogi, One World Crusade, drugs and love beadsand now, exorcism.
