James Randi's book, Flim-Flam!! has a chapter called ``Gods With Feats
Of Clay''.  He has something to say about certain claims that he says
were made by the leader of the TM movement.  Among them:

	You can be taught to levitate.  It will only cost a few thousand
	dollars.

	You can be taught to pass through walls.  This too is cheap at its
	price.

	Crime in the world can be reduced by TM practiced by persons
	not involved in the crime.


I recommend this book highly.  It is a refreshing dose of common sense.
