I was working from memory. Like Rubenstein and Horowitz, I played wrong

and his suck-ups. Merwin doesn't sound too bright either. What is it
about men (or women?) like Trungpa that gets educated, spiritual men and
women to follow them and allow themselves to be subjected to all sorts
of humiliation? I truly do not understand this nor have I a "theory."
Too bad Merwin probably is a reasonable man. I'm not.
I hope to find out what Ed Sanders wrote about this.
I'd like to think that most of us will get lighter floggings when we get
to meet The Great Scorer. I try to avoid showing up other people unless
they owe me money:-).
Speaking of the Great Scorer, I gather Trungpa checked out at age 48.
Oh well. Bad karma and high-priced alcohol will do it every time.
From the wording of Merwin and Naone acting "chastened," did they
accept they had this coming? Or was the stripping to keep Merwin from
reaching for a weapon?
