- This may be somewhat tangential, but in DeMille's debunking
- of Carlos Caste#eda, there are several anecdotes which tell
- of "indios viejos" (old native american males) who allow young
- and earnest norteamericanos to believe that they are the "real
- Don Juan". Thus the duped NewAgers proceed to bring them such
- items as refrigerators, vcrs, beer, etc.
