Chopra says that on a cosmic level, we all exist simultaneously throughout the universe. And he, for one, certainly seems omnipresent. Since the runaway success of his book Ageless Body, Timeless Mind in 1993, he has written one best seller after another, selling an astonishing 6 million copies. His videotapes (which include Growing Younger, a co-production with Time-Life Video) are legion. A Chopra Website is in the works as well as a CD-ROM touted as "the ultimate Chopra experience." For those who do not read, watch television or surf the Net, the man himself will most likely...

It may be that Cezanne was reaching for a kind of expression in painting that did not exist in his time and still does not in ours...
...both the Balkans and the Middle East, made an interesting comparison: In Lebanon an imperfect but very livable and prosperous Swiss-type status quo prevailed for years, providing Christians, Muslims, Druzes and others breathing space and give-and-take ethnoreligious integrity. But recently that harmony has ceased to exist. Yugoslavia too had gone a long way toward evolving into the Switzerland of the Balkans, until Germany, the Vatican and a naive U.S. decided to unravel the Yugoslav federation in the name of chauvinist 'self-determination' rights.
