Thanks, Richard, nice excerpt. Hey you might really enjoy what Paul posted
today about the sweet truth.

Soon the world press appeared at the locked upper gate. With small
effort they broke the lock. At this same moment Maharishi arrived-he was
quiet but firm when he requested, Please, we will receive you after a
little time with the course then the interviews will be more meaningful;
we will send for you and give you two full days to interview everyone.
He finally dismissed them. I think the Beatles were very happy at the
way it was done. That afternoon both George and John and their wives
came to the afternoon lecture. George asked intelligent questions. The
girls looked terrific in their colorful robes, a mad mosaic of color.
Everyone complimented them and they seemed pleased. They appeared more
relaxed around the other students.
When Paul McCartney arrived he brought a total surprise. It was Ringo
Starr, who said he could only stay for ten days at the longest. Paul was
also accompanied by a slim, willowy red-haired girl he introduced as
Jane Asher, a British actress and his fiancee. He made it clear that
they would share the same quarters. George warned me, Prepare for rain
- it rains wherever Ringo is.
Ringo was small and just as much of a Rumpelstiltskin as his pictures
made him out to be. One's first impression was of a big nose pushed
along by vitality. Paul was outgoing and friendly. He seemed delighted
to catch up with his team. Maharishi was the happiest of them all-he had
all four Beatles as his guests. What a catch! It rained that night. But
it didn't dampen my spirits - every day got more terrific.
Do you mean that Maharishi condones Paul and that actress sharing a
room? asked an indignant Genie, who was a supporter of moral
rearmament, a Christian movement with strict moral values, Do you feel
that is a good example for the rest of the course members? Maharishi's
eyes are on far more important events than who is with whom, I
countered, in spite of being a bit baffled myself. He isn't going to
treat us like children. We are responsible for our own lives I reminded
her. Don't forget Maharishi's definition of sin; it involves an action
which is 'life destructive.' I don't think it's 'life destructive' for
Paul and Jane to share a room.
