Lock up, peace is coming

Quote of the Day: Farmer Bryce Wiehl of Smith Center, Kan.

"Some people call them a cult, and some little old ladies are locking their doors. You're in the Bible Belt, and this is a Hindu-based religion. People don't like that idea."

-- Bryce Wiehl, 50, a farmer in Smith Center, Kan., talking about reaction in his town to plans by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to build a "World Capital of Peace" just outside the town. He was quoted by USA Today.
