...Yoga was little known in the U.S. - perhaps only as an enthusiasm of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other icons of the Beat Generation - when the Beatles and Mia Farrow journeyed to India to sit at the feet of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968. Since then, yoga has endured more evolutions of popular consciousness than a morphing movie monster. First it signaled spiritual cleansing and rebirth, a nontoxic way to get high. Then it was seen as a kind of preventive medicine that helped manage and reduce stress. "The third wave was the fitness wave," says Richard Faulds, president...
Whether or not Michael and Charles return, the NBA seems to have regained its fan base after the protracted labor strike two years ago, and with a new stock of superstars, the future looks promising. Allen Iverson has stepped up his game, reached a workable relationship with Larry Brown, and has emerged as the preeminent superstar in the league. The result has been the dramatic ascent of the Sixers this year, primed and ready for a championship run with the finger-wagging Motumbo patrolling the middle and a cast of role players to complement their star...

...pastor and some of those followers have been convicted before of similar charges. Even now, out on bail and awaiting trial, Allen, 68, vows to keep encouraging corporal punishment, which he believes Scripture condones. His nondenominational church is located in a mostly African-American neighborhood of northwest Atlanta, where the churches outnumber the stoplights. "We can't sway from the Bible because we're in trouble with the state," Allen told TIME on Friday, his followers standing around him intoning "Mmm-hmm." He says the country's notorious school shootings prove the need for discipline. And he points out that...
...Allen crossed the law's nebulous line in 1992. He was sentenced to 30 days in prison after a 16-year-old testified that two men held her down at the church while others beat her. The pastor himself testified that the beating lasted 20 to 30 minutes. The girl said he had "brainwashed" the congregation. Allen said she was being punished for sexual activity, a claim he made in the recent beatings...
