                UTSUNOMIYA, Japan - About 3,500 people gather at a rally in Otawara, Tochigi Prefecture on Aug. 8, demanding that members of the AUM Shinrikyo cult who have taken up residence in the city move out. The participants, bearing placards that read, ''AUM get out immediately,'' chant slogans, while AUM members blare cult songs from speakers.
