steward of the Soviet Union, who is
now president.

Rajneesh's followers came to
Oregon four years ago, took over the
town of Antelope by buying businesses
and winning elections, and left many

Rajneesh seldom speaks, even to
his followers, but also plans to meet
with reporters Saturday and said his
decision to break his silence for ABC
was spontaneous.
"I never decide anything
beforehand. If I feel like speaking, I
speak," he said. "If I feel like being
silent, then there is no other way. And
I never ask myself why."
