Interesting comment...and it's a perfect example of how an alleged comment gets all blown out of proportion by folks like Hagelin who then make it into some sort of sinister thing, such as the quote that Brigante provided us. Again, where's the proof that anything was actually done? The fact is, Carter wouldn't have had to do anything. If I were Carter (who came into power in January 1977) and I was actually intent upon entering office of using "everything in my power" to thwart the TMO, I would not have done anything. Why? Because a few short months later, MMY and the TMO came out with the flying thing publicly. All Carter would have had to say to himself is: these nutcases just self-destructed...now I don't have to do anything from my side. And he would have been right. > Margaret was married to the > playwright William Gibson (The Miracle Worker) and was a psychiatrist who > often spoke at TM conferences in the 70's. > To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
