Notes: Reuters and other news outlets, camped outside the Maharishi`s retreat in the hope of getting footage of the Fabs.
Initially they were allowed to come inside and were able to get some nice colour footage of John, George & wives out for a stroll.
Then they were banished to camp outside the compound and could only manage brief distant footage of them walking back and forth from their accommodation, all filmed in black and white and without sound.
Finally NBC News took the Reuters colour footage and flipped it so it looks like it`s taken from another angle but it is the same colour footage.
This footage also exists in black and white from both "angles".
