I think it was mostly the woman who was Rajneesh's second-in-command, Ma Sheela. She was totally bonkers, ultimately went to prison for the Salmonella stunt, which sickened a whole bunch of people, and some other outrageous stuff, death threats and things. It's not clear Rajneesh was aware of everything she and her henchpersons were doing. I saw her interviewed on Nightline when all this was going down. She was pretty clearly a raving loony, a real paranoid Dragon Lady with delusions of grandeur. There are a couple of good books about the whole Rajneeshpuram/Antelope era. The commune seems to have worked out brilliantly for the first year or so, then went bad quite rapidly. ------------------------ Yahoo!
