Hey, I used to be a stripper *for* the TM movement. Seriously. And I used to *love* saying it that way. It used to make the Purusha-types-before-there-was-a-Purusha *so* uptight. :-) I was a photostripper for MIU Press. Back in the days before digital presses, you had to shoot negs of the typeset copy and then paste them up in cer- tain configurations and then shoot printing plates from them. In America, this process is called "stripping." One of the first indications I got that the TM move- ment was not for me is when people started getting offended by the term "stripping." Mandates came down from Seelisberg that we should refer to what we do by the European term "montage." I refused outright. I was a stripper for the TM move- ment and damn! if I was going to let somebody make me say that I did "montage" for a living. We *did* do the stripping fully clothed, however, for those who are still offended by the term. :-)
