...protesters crying, "Welcome, brothers and sisters!" to one another. Said one prisoner, rubbing the tear gas from his eyes: "This isn't a jail! This is a goddam party!" So it seemed. Indeed, there was more petulance than anger. Moaned one youngster, as he was pulled into the compound: "I mean, I was going to be guilty, but they busted me before I even had a chance to do anything." Besides, it was difficult to get mad at guards who kept smiling and joking and in one instance, answered shouts of "Pig!" with "We don't like...
...carried on endless legal colloquies and insisted upon "noncooperation with the system," which meant rejecting food, water, blankets and tents. It also meant refusing to participate in the lengthy legal processing that began in the late afternoon.

To compound their isolation, the 1,400 delegates (420 of them adults) were soon blanketed by more than two feet of snow that fell on the site near Rocky Mountain National Park. While manfully debating the great issues that a preconference poll showed are most troubling youth, the delegates had to borrow Army parkas from nearby Fort Carson and improvise boots...
Ananda Marga headquarters itself in a rather simple compound in Ranchi, a city of the eastern state of Bihar. During the past seven or eight years, the organization has set up more than 600 primary schools, many children's homes-orphans in India usually don't survive-hospitals, homes for the aged, and higher educational institutions.
