From the beginning, some readers objected to my series on Millennium. But like it or not, Millennium is very much a part of the American scene. And electronic hits on our website increased substantially, indicating that many people were interested.
 

After a while, people tired of the series, so we've cut back to occasional articles, of which this is one. Let us know how you feel about it.
In the past, the attitude of Millennium's staff was that although their guru's life was at risk while on tour, at home he was safe. The attempt by infiltrators was considered an aberration unlikely to recur. Then his house was blown up, reportedly by a cruise missile.
 

Now he's on tour again. Perhaps he'll be safer there, for this is a different kind of tour. He has spoken to full or almost full houses in places like San Francisco's DiBartolo Dome, the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, and Yankee Stadium. In all of them he drew crowds of every ethnicity, crowds of up to 50,000 plus.
 

His present tour will take him to much smaller cities, and publics of a very specific ethnicity. He will speak at the Alaskan Federation of Native Peoples Convention at the Egan Center in Anchorage; the Navajo's Diné College at Tsaile, Arizona; the high school football field at South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation; and the Native American Cultural Center at Tecumseh, Oklahoma. The trip will take 10 days, and the total number of people who attend may be less than attended his appearance at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Oregon.
 

As I've written before, admission fees at his usual engagements are only enough to hire the stadium or arena. On this Native American tour, no fees at all will be charged. It is conceivable that Ngunda Aran has ill intentions, but those who accuse him of getting rich on the gullible need to come up with evidence.
 

I don't expect them to.

"The Dove and Scam Allegations"
by Duke Cochran

 

Cochran scanned his screen. While writing, the words had flowed swiftly from his fingers, and he had not evaluated them. Now, reading and polishing, they surprised him; they read almost as if he'd become a believer. He pursed his lips, then clicked on "send," zapping the file to the editor's desk. He had no doubt he preferred Ngunda Aran to most of the man's detractors.

But he did need a different viewpoint on him. He thought about something Nidringham had suggested: that he sign up for Life Healing, pretend to take it seriously. Go through the motions, and afterward write it up. He could do it without leaving Chicago.
