He said he was repulsed and pleased by some of the cult aspects that formed around him. "Half the time when people want to touch my robe," he once told Life magazine, "it feels incredibly icky -- yuck!" The rest of the time, "it feels very good, honest, right."
He described himself as a flawed man who had a weakness for cheap gin, marijuana and women. He wrote openly of his extramarital affairs in what he called his favorite book, "In Search of Stones" (1995), nominally about a trip to Great Britain looking for ancient stone monuments.

IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei argues for the creation of fuel banks under international control, where countries wanting to generate nuclear power could go for the low-enriched fuel they need. There would be no danger of their enriching it further for nuclear-weapons production, on the one hand, but there would also be little or no possibility that the United States or other powers could use a cutoff of the fuel as an economic weapon. "Countries will have the fuels they need," ElBaradei told NEWSWEEK last year. "They have the assurance of the supply, but they do not necessarily need to do the job themselves."
The secretary would be charged with bringing alternatives to the president and Cabinet the potential costs of armed conflict abroad and alternatives to present institutions and policies dealing with conflict resolution at home.
Residents have formed a citizens' group to fight large dairy producers. Tom Frantz, a Shafter native who heads the Association of Irritated Residents, said area farms are "like a factory in your midst."
"We're really irritated because our lungs are being used as an agricultural subsidy," said Frantz, who has asthma. His group notified farmer Rick Vanderham this month that residents plan to sue him for building a new 2,800-cow dairy without a Clean Air Act permit.
California's debate is not unique: Public health advocates in states including North Carolina and Iowa have pushed to regulate hog, poultry and dairy farms -- known as "confined animal feeding operations" -- with varying degrees of success.

"Our organ allocation system is imperfect, but there is a lot of effort and a lot of thought to make it as fair as possible. Once you go down this road and allow people to jump ahead in the queue through a popularity contest through the Web, you can be assured justice goes out the window," David Magnus, a Stanford University bioethicist, said.
Aside from potentially giving the more affluent, educated or computer-literate an edge, allowing donors to designate their recipient can lead to discrimination, Magnus and others say.
"You could easily see a situation where you have a donor who says, 'I'm only going to donate to a white person,' or 'I'm only going to give to someone with my religion,' " said Douglas W. Hanto of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, who represents the American Society of Transplant Surgeons.

Ames, a 66-year-old Vinalhaven native who is both a lifelong fisherman as well as a scientist, was recognized for the research he has done that could help restore depleted groundfish stocks in the Gulf of Maine. The foundation noted that he has "fused the roles of fisherman and applied scientist in response to increasing threats to the fishery ecosystem resulting from decades of over-harvesting."
That refers specifically to a study Ames conducted, published last year in Fisheries, the Journal of the American Fisheries Society, which drew on the memories of past generations of local fishermen to reconstruct the distribution of cod in the 1920s and '30s.
"They gave us incredible information about where and when they were fishing for cod and haddock and where and when those fish were spawning," Ames said. "Up to this point, information of that type was not collected by scientists. It was always unacceptable. We developed a protocol to validate those historical references."

BELFAST - A Brooks man on trial for murder who admitted under oath that he shot and killed a 60-year-old woman after she barged into his home was acquitted of all charges Friday by a Waldo County Superior Court jury.

It is the revolutionary soldier spirit of devotedly defending of the leader, unconditionally implementing of the leader's orders and heroic self-sacrifice, that makes the army a vanguard of the unity of the whole society and the single-minded unity. And the Songun comradeship constitutes its basis. The unity of the whole society is a comradely unity after all and its status is determined by the Songun comradeship, a comradeship sealed between the Supreme Commander and the servicemen. North Korea's revolutionary history commenced along with the anti-Japanese armed struggle led by President Kim Il Sung is precisely a history of comradeship.
"Imagine every morning if the teachers had the children stand up, place their hands over their hearts, and say, 'We are one nation that denies God exists,"' Newdow said in an interview with AP Radio after the ruling.
"I think that everybody would not be sitting here saying, 'Oh, what harm is that.' They'd be furious. And that's exactly what goes on against atheists. And it shouldn't."
