...next nine years, Gray traveled everywhere with Maharishi, eventually becoming the guru's personal assistant. Along the way he picked up a bachelor's degree and an M.A.--in the Science of Creative Intelligence--at Maharishi International University; most of the credits came from such "projects" as helping Maharishi set up his teacher-training programs. (Wonder how he earned the right to call himself "Doctor"? He earned his Ph.D. in a correspondence course in psychology and counseling offered by Columbia Pacific University in San Rafael, Calif.)

JEFFREY KLUGER flew to Tucson and drove 35 miles along rough, rutted roads to a remote corner of the Arizona desert to interview America's most visible health guru, Dr. Andrew Weil, for this week's cover story. Kluger, who joined TIME's science staff last August, toured Weil's home, a converted horse stable, and found Weil to be energetic, engaging and quite sincere in his belief that he is helping improve America's health.
