Perhaps we need a TMO richter scale: which of the ongoing flow of shocks had or are having the greatest impact. 1) Tony Secrecy 2) Maharishi was quite ordinarily mortal (living to be 200 would have been impressive eve if not immortal) 3) Maharishi apparently had regular sexual relations with students and staff. 4) Where id the money go? 5) The Kaplin bros -- close to the center -- major funders -- totally bailed. 6) With the coherence finally passing critical threshold the world economy falls apart. 7) the raja thing 8) damn democracy 9) the massive ostentatious of the TMO 10) Jerry, Charlie and others getting booted I have missed many. But Tony secrecy doesn't seem to me to be a bigger shock than some of the above. But then I see cluelessness where others see secrecy. Cluelessness -- the lights on but no one's home -- while it may not be "shocking", it does clearly confirms the vacuuousness of it all.
