The assembly was from December 1983 to January 1984, so this would be only 24 1/2 month anniversary. Might be a better time of year; As the original 'Taste of Utopia' couse, began with the temperatures in Fairfield, the night Maharishi arrived approached minus 40 below zero. Many pipes froze the next morning. Cedar Rapid reporters were on the scene showing thousands of shivering meditators waiting in the cold for a glimpse of the famous Guru. In town the 'tongue in cheek' was: 'Thank God this is only a taste of utopia...' (snip)
