Yup, that describes his ad on 10/31 too.  He was "interviewed" by some
former NBC correspondent, though it was obviously all carefully staged.  I
think he said "scientifically proven solutions" about every 30 seconds, but
the only ones he mentioned were TM for prisoner rehabilitation, and
conservation and wind power for energy.  The Maharishi and MIU were never
mentioned, though the "Natural Law Party's" address was given as Fairfield,
Iowa, same as the Maharishi International University.  They also described
the Natural Law Party as "the fastest growing party in America" about 100
times.  It was all pretty eerie, good Halloween stuff.
