...wealth of knowledge that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi exemplifies in his teachings. Conferences on "Consciousness and Natural Law," several of which have been held on the main campus of Maharishi International University in Iowa and at Maharishi European Research University in Switzerland, have attracted Josephson, I. Prigogine, E.C.G. Sudarshan, K.P. Sinha, C. Piron and other leading physicists...
...elections that returned her to office for a second term. As a result, she was barred from her seat in Parliament and disqualified from holding elective office for six years. Her lawyers immediately announced that they would appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court, and Justice Jag Mohan Lai Sinha issued a stay of 20 days pending the appeal. Even if it is overturned, Judge Sinha's decision is likely to have far-reaching consequences for Prime Minister Gandhi.

Extra Police. Justice Sinha exonerated Mrs. Gandhi of charges that she had used air force planes for campaign purposes, bribed voters with blankets, clothing and liquor, spent more than the $4,500 limit, and used the Congress Party's symbol (a cow and a calf) in an illicit religious appeal for votes.

That left the coalition short of a majority, however, and prospects were for a shaky, short-lived government that might well collapse before the end of the year...
...expedient to shift markedly to the left in its own economic sloganizing. Syndicate leaders, however, were seriously considering talks with a couple of right-wing Indian parties to form an anti-Indira coalition. In public, some of the faction's orators savagely attacked the Prime Minister. Mrs. Tarakeshwari Sinha, for example, won heavy applause by charging that Indira was a "security risk" because of her apparent pro-Soviet leanings. Neither the negotiations nor the attacks, however, prevented the Syndicate from adopting much of Indira's approach in an effort to win popular support...
