...This appeal to American sensibilities seems to be connecting with audiences eager for spiritual experiences. At a kirtan at the Moksha Yoga Center in Chicago, musicians played mandolin and acoustic guitar. An altar was set up with candles, fruit and a picture of Jimi Hendrix, who did not practice kirtan but, according to chant leader Debi Buzil, "embodies the music and embraced God." The chants' Sanskrit lyrics were projected on the wall via Powerpoint. When Moksha held its first kirtans four years ago, 10 people would show up; today the sessions regularly draw 80. "This is the most happy-producing...
...with Miss Match creator Darren Star (Sex and the City). "Alicia has the stuff that comediennes of the '30s and '40s had," says Star. "She is very likable, and it comes from a real place."

Either way, the telemarketers won't easily shrug off public ire. "All the telemarketers will have done is increase [the list's] size by 50%," FTC chairman Timothy Muris told TIME. But the fight could...
...days. And Alexander Deineka's 1931 On the Balcony owes more to Bonnard or Matisse than to Stalin. But it is the affinity between Stalinist art and American commercial art that drives the show. Both evolved almost simultaneously on the strength of new media developments. Both aimed at mass appeal. And both presented an unattainably idyllic family life. Look at Alexander Laktionov's 1947 Letter From the Front: it's pure Slavic Norman Rockwell...
