Possibly, given his age back then and the movement.
Your take on RajaRam could well be in play given the culture.
Still waiting for the Global Chat on this though.
In Icelandic they have this colloquial about leadership:
"It is windy at the top".
Probably was lonely at times too.
Is interesting to see here how many of the administrative TB'er movement
marriages at the top have recombined in time. Amongst themselves and also
including some of the loner single men or spinster women having hooked up in
matrimony later in life now. The unions formed are really sweet to see in some
cases. More fit partnerships later in life.
There are small rumors out about another announcement pending coming from
someone really really *large* in the movement. Something about a long-term
male companion.
