Just to make sure several different things don't
get conflated here (again):

The issue L.B. and I have been discussing concerning
the researchers not allowing Markovsky to have their
data was in regard to a different study than the D.C.
study you've been examining.  Markovsky wanted data
for the Jerusalem study.

The raw data--the crime and other stats--used in *both*
studies, however, were publicly available.

That wasn't what Markovsky was asking for with regard
to the Jerusalem study.  He wanted to see the data
produced by the researchers' analysis--what came out of
the computer after the raw data had been input and run
through whatever statistical routines they were using
(as well, presumably, as the statistical routines
themselves).

This is not a case, in other words, where the raw data
were available only to the researchers, as in, say, the
clinical trials of a new drug; or a good bit of the
other TM research on the effects of TM where subjects
were brought into a lab to be tested or were asked to
fill out questionnaires or whatever.
