The "Higher Power" site is still up, contrary to the above quoted
paragraph.

The URL is http://www7.concentric.net/~Font/ and is also a link
off of CNN's site as background material.  I also checked on the
http://www.heavensgate.com, another of the cult's Web sites
and it's still up too. I couldn't get in it as obviously many many
people are checking it out now.

So, now we know the rest of the "Bo" and "Peep" story. How utterly
tragic. I suppose we'll be seeing a lot more of this  "millennial
madness"  as we get closer to the year 2000.

This cult tragedy doesn't bode well for UFOlogy. I can just imagine
all the background pieces that will be aired in the next few days as
the overpaid media talking heads put a chilling and conspiratorial
spin on the "UFO nuts".

Wunnerful. :-(
