I have to "recall" these things because I *can't* go to YouTube and dig up a video. It was the 1970s for chrissakes! We have to do this by memory. I do have some old books around here but I'm busy right now and am not going to drop everything to find stuff for nabby. I know back then whether it was a discussion in my SCI class or maybe even later in a teacher's meeting with Charlie Lutes. And I'm sure there was a tape and when he said it there was sort of pindrop sound in the room. I do know that Maharishi took flack for admiring Hitler because there was a lot of support from the Jewish community and such admiration it was felt would compromise that. One thing he mentioned was how Hitler was responsible for the Autobahn. Of course Maharishi also admired L Ron Hubbard but more of our aging senior citizen TM teachers seem to remember that one.
