Early in the third period, Nilan again drew a double minor and Dale Hunter deflected Steven Finn’s shot from the blueline to give the Nordi ques a 5-4 lead. Nordiques Coach Michel Berge ron said the week layoff probably hurt the Canadiens, and he said he hoped his team could continue to take advantage of it. “The big thing was to win one out of two here,” he said. “Now, we have to avoid a letdown on tonight.” Tim Kerr scored twice early in the first period and added a power-play goal in leading Philadelphia over the Islanders, who gained the finals with Saturday night’s four-overtime 3-2 win over Washington.

An equal opportunity employer ©1987 Kelly Services. Inc. His Holiness Maharishi Mahcsh Yogi, Founder of the Transcendental Meditation Program Success in life is easier than you think. Attend this free lecture and learn why. Dear student. Psychologists say that most people use only a small fraction of their mental potential. Ever wonder what would happen if you could unlock the rest of your capabilities? Think what it would mean for your learning ability, your productivity, your future prosperity. There’d be almost no limit to what you could accomplish! BECOME A TOP PERFORMER Well, you can unfold your poten tial, and the technique is remarkably easy. You’ll learn about it soon at a free lecture on the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique. If you want the success in life you’ve been dreaming about, I urge you to at tend this lecture. My name is Fred Poneman. I’m regional vice president of a national investment brokerage firm and spend most of my time teaching people how to be more successful and productive. In my experience, the most success ful people are the ones who practice Transcendental Meditation. Why? Because, as you’ll learn at the lecture, the simple, natural TM technique, practiced 15-20 minutes twice a day, brings a person greater clarity of mind, greater creativity, and greater organizing power. TM helps people to excel in a fast-chang ing, stressful environment. It’s proven itself to be the best thing in the world you can do to become a top performer. BENEFITS TO STUDENTS y now, more than 1,000,000 ■“^students like yourself have -I—^experienced the benefits of TM. More than 350 scientific research studies over the last 15 years have doc umented these benefits, and many of the findings are directly related to your life as a student including: B increased intelligence and learning ability B improved comprehension, concentration, and memory B improved academic and job perfonnance fl reduced stress and anxiety B increased happiness m improved interpersonal relationships B improved athletic performance At the upcoming lecture, you’ll hear details of some of this research. You’ll also leam the reason why TM brings so many benefits to mind, body, and behavior at the same time. In brief, the explanation is this. At the basis of all of creation is the unified field of all of the laws of nature as described by modern physics and by ancient Vedic science. The TM technique allows you to experience the unified field within your own con sciousness. Having this experience twice a day brings you more and more support of the laws of nature. And this means it gets easier and easier to ful fill all your desires for greater success and achievement in life. TECHNIQUE FOR SUCCESS But there’s even more to it than that. At the lecture, you’ll also hear about the “Super Radiance” effect. When as little as the square root of one percent of the population of a city or a country practices the TM technique and its advanced aspects, the crime and acci dent rates go down, and society as a whole becomes more peaceful and productive. That’s how powerful the TM technique is! The benefits that TM has brought to so many people throughout the world will grow in your life too, once you begin the technique (which I recom mend that you do). But for now, why not just attend the free lecture? It’s only about 45 minutes long, yet it could mark the beginning of a whole new level of personal satisfaction and performance that will continue to grow for the rest of your life. The date and time of the free lecture are listed below. I hope you’ll be there, and I guarantee you won’t be sorry! Wishing you all success, Fred Poneman Regional Vice President International Trading Group Fairfield, Iowa “ r nV/f brin S s me inner JL IVA peace, yet I’m more dynamic than ever before.
