1. First Interview
In issue 1 Sy Safransky asks spiritual teacher Ram Dass for his take on the energy crisis then engulfing the country due to the Arab oil embargo. Ram Dass suggests that it is, “like all trauma, an exquisitely designed opportunity to reawaken man.” He adds, “If God were to send somebody to completely reshape our consciousness, it’s Nixon.” (Nixon resigned his presidency eight months later.)

Ram Dass has been featured as an interview subject in The Sun more often than anyone else, appearing five times.
