You know, I'm actually more disturbed by the egregious typo in the subject heading (are TMers illiterate?) than by its mention of MUM.
Obviously, the subject line was written by whoever at the "email4you" outfit gathers the articles it sends FFL a couple times a week. I don't think it's a TMO person, just a TMer who enjoys doing this (not all the articles are about TM, BTW). Now, if the subject line were changed to "Bernie Sanders in Fairfield," would it make a huge difference? I doubt it, not for those who read the WaPo article, which is strongly focused on MUM students and staff, making it seem as though there's not much more to Fairfield than MUM. Would Sanders have visited Fairfield if it weren't for MUM? Doesn't sound like it from the article. FWIW, I read the reporter's bio, and there's no trace of any connection to MUM or TM. I think you're way overreacting, Doug. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : This is really terrible that this came out from someone in the middle of TM, again.

There have been visits from Hillary Clinton, as well as HUD Secretary Julián Castro, her who-knows-maybe potential running mate. Ted Cruz drew a big crowd to the small convention center here on a Tuesday night. But it was Bernie Sanders whose visit Thursday got the most buzz about town — and it’s he who might benefit most from the Maharishi effect. “He represents a higher level of cognitive development,” said Sam Farling, a volunteer organizer here for Sanders. “Hillary Clinton may have the almost militaristic level of organizing — but we have the passion.” PLS READ MORE, ITS AN PHANTASTIC ARTICLE OF THE WASHINGTON POST.
