Malta, which had been a British colony since 1814, gained its independence in 1964. A ten-year military facilities agreement with London, signed that year, allowed the British to station 7,500 troops and technicians on the island. In return Malta received an estimated $70 million annually in rent and other income.

Using a battery of psychological and personality tests, he found that neuroticism among the meditators decreased 50% on the average, hostility 22%, anxiety 60% and suspicion 27%. No significant changes were recorded for the nonmeditators. Perhaps the most convincing statistic of all is that out of 58 meditators who have been released from Folsom over the past two years, only two have returned. Folsom's average recidivism fate is 15% for prisoners...
