Says Joe, adroitly leaping to distract attention from yet another of Barry's memory failures... ROFL! , in the book Heaven On Earth, Michael D'Antonio decides, after having heard in Fairfield that groups of meditators create a "wave of coherence" that lowers crime rates, to visit the Fairfield Chief of Police, Randy Cooksie.
