- <p> A few eyebrows were raised by an unusual private meeting
- MIKHAIL GORBACHEV scheduled during the London economic summit.
- The Soviet leader took time out from importuning Western leaders
- for economic help to greet his friend SRI CHINMOY, the New Age
- Indian guru. As French President Francois Mitterrand watched
- from the side, Gorbachev accepted a book of praise from the
- spiritual leader, who is based in Queens, N.Y. Gorbachev, who
- has been known to sprinkle speeches with terminology about his
- vision for a "new civilization" that obeys "new laws and logic,"
- first met the guru last year on a state visit to Canada.
