Theos-Talk Archives (April 2001 Message tt00088)

Before she was elected to the post the first time, Krishnamurti had a
talk with her, and persuaded her to run for that office.

The story is in one of the Krishnamurti biographies. I don't recall
which. Perhaps someone who was closer to Krishnamurti recalls where
the reference is?
