# Rivalries Brew In Mexico Witchcraft Capital. CATEMACO, Mexico (Reuters) -
In Mexico's capital of witchcraft, rivalries are brewing and bubbling. On
the shores of Lake Catemaco in southern Veracruz state, shamans who commune
with Lucifer in snake-filled grottoes are pitted against "charlatans" who
perform for tourists while white-clad virgins chant in the shadows of jungle
stages. "There are many charlatans here, people who stand in the streets and
say 'I'm the chief wizard,' but they don't deliver," said veteran shaman
Jose Luis Martinez. http://nt.excite.com/news/r/990324/08/odd-witchcraft
: Who are your favorite shamans, sorcerers, witches, virgins, wizards? Do
you have a personal stake in their activities? Are you in cahoots? How? Why?

# SETI sleuths track down the glitches. (MSNBC) Searching for aliens isn�t
as easy as Hollywood makes it look. Today�s SETI systems, which monitor tens
of millions of channels simultaneously and have to contend with smothering
terrestrial interference, are complicated, one-of-a-kind beasts. They�re
always on the hairy edge, and every observing run is scarred by technical
glitches. http://www.msnbc.com/news/252311.asp

# Reinterpreting telepathy as unusual experiences of empathy and charisma.
Donovan, JM - Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA. "Telepathy is often
dismissed because it is judged to be contrary to the accepted facts of
social psychology. This article argues that what is called telepathy may
require nothing more than empathy and charisma and is reducible to these
sociopsychological constructs. Two studies explore this hypothesis. In the
first the proposed relationship is used to explain the sheep-goat effect. In
the second study scores on charisma and empathy are used as direct predic-
tors of telepathy scores. The results in combination support the interpre-
tation of telepathy as phenomenologically impressive social psychological
events which in less dramatic instances are termed empathy and charisma.

: Can you distinguish between telepathy, empathy, charisma? How? If JFK was
charismatic, was he also empathic/telepathic? Is that why he had lotsa sex,
faced-down Khruschev over Cuba, and suicided by going to Dallas? Why else?
