...recruit then takes three more two-hour "lessons," pays a modest fee ($75 generally, but only $45 for college students) and he is ready to reap the full benefits of transcendental meditation. Simply expressed, the goal of TM, which despite its Oriental trappings is not a religion but a quite secular relaxation technique, is to enjoy life more, to shuck tension by letting the mind travel far from mundane concerns a couple of times a day. To TM preachers, the practitioner is "expanding his awareness," developing his "creative intelligence," experiencing "subtler states of thought," and achieving "deep rest...
...such theological stars as Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich. They are no longer deluged with draft dodgers and dissidents-or even the great numbers of social activists-who swelled their enrollments in the late '60s, while the evangelical schools have begun to reap a rich harvest from the Jesus movement. Union and Chicago are also losing out on new students because of their crime-ridden urban locations...
...complexities of the grain market are too confusing to permit quick conclusions on whether the Nixon Administration's wheat deal with the Soviet Union led to improper profits and thus amounts to another scandal from which the Democrats ought to be able to reap campaign benefits.

But I take John Rawls's (professor of Philosophy), position...
...tractor mounted with a reel of tape, a farmer can plant a crop uniformly. The seeds are evenly spaced, and the tape dissolves when sprayed with water. This eliminates the costly problem of uneven planting, which often causes crops to mature at an irregular rate and forces farmers to reap several times. Seed tape has not only sold well to large corporate farmers but has also garnered about 6% of the home gardening market. Carbide is now testing tapes that contain fertilizer or herbicides as well as a single tape that will have both seeds and fertilizers...
