The exiled Tibetan leader, speaking at a Brown University event this week, told members of the audience they could share his thoughts with others if they found them interesting.

A Brown spokeswoman later swore the Dalai Lama really did say “forget.’’

Politicians and special-interest groups spent more than $28.9 million on postage through the end of August, $1 million more than was spent on mailings in the entire 2008 election cycle.
