Tickets for the event range from $1,000 to $10,000, and Mike Huckabee is also an invited speaker.

By Diane Winston

…clientele could choose from tarot cards, horoscopes, aromatherapies, kabbalah classes, tantra and oh so much more. Yet just as Osho, the center, was coming into its own, Osho, the man, died—too soon to savor a renewed enthusiasm for his teachings.

Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the video is when the female police officer, who will be required to ticket them in the near future, asks to take a picture of them. Sarkozy’s ban may have inadvertently created the sense of…

…ng totals. As the reporters noted dryly, “The burst of fund-raisers takes place as lawmakers are considering the fate of energy legislation and a sweeping financial regulatory bill.” So who do you suppose is buying high-priced tickets to these events? Well, you could get an idea about that from a profile in today’s Times on the rise and rise of corporate fixer Tony Podesta (“The Proud Lobbyist” reads the Times headline). Tony boasts that he lobbie…
