Where there's a yoga blitz, there must be yoga biz. To dress for a class, you need only some old, loose-fitting clothes--and since you perform barefoot, no fancy footwear. Yet Nike and J.Crew have developed exercise apparel, as has Turlington. For those who prefer stay-at-home yoga, the video-store racks groan with hot, moving tapes. The Living Yoga series of instructional videos taught by Yee and Patricia Walden occupies five of the top eight slots on Amazon's VHS best-seller list. "Vogue and Self are putting out the message of yoginis as buff...
...Anne Robinson of The Weakest Link (NBC, Mondays, 8 p.m. E.T.), a British import game show with a Survivor twist: players vote each other off.

...Lebanese regard the refugee camps as ticking time bombs. The fear is that Palestinian guerrillas in Lebanon, on orders from Arafat, the Syrians, the Iranians or out of their own desperation, will join the intifadeh by staging operations into northern Israel. That could provoke Sharon into a new military blitz, jeopardizing Lebanon's reconstruction efforts and throwing the entire region into crisis...
