*******************
Celebrities at these poker games are not expected to blab on about
their charities. Collins gave the same brief exposition that all the
other players did -- it was not a venue for a TM lecture. The Bravo
page you link to above contains a hotlink to
http://www.permanentpeace.org from the MUM Foundation line. If you
say "TM" to the average person, they might think they know something
about from hearing about the Beatles etc -- by talking about world
peace, it gives people an opportunity to look at the topic afresh.
