"Our friendship and our alliance with Iran is one of the important bases on which our entire foreign policy depends," the President told Crown Prince Reza, a student at the U.S. Air Force Academy, when he visited the White House on his 18th birthday last week.

In the California prison system, for years one of the most violent in the U.S., something quite different has taken root: Transcendental Meditation. At Folsom Prison, a state-run storehouse for repeat offenders, more than 250 inmates over the past three years have stopped hating and hitting each other to sit quietly and think their mantras.
