...Summer of Love in 1967 was supposed to change the world, and all we had to do, according to Harvard professor and lsd guru Timothy Leary, was turn on, tune in and drop out. Drug-induced visions inspired posters, clothes and album covers in dazzling, swirling colors; later generations were disappointed that they'd missed out on all the fun. Now it's time to don the kaftans and give the visuals another chance. "Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era" runs at the Kunsthalle Schirn in Frankfurt from Nov. 2 to Feb. 12, and then at Vienna...

Inspectors will have to ask the regime to learn more, and Kim is sure to demand that the U.S. make concessions...
Yoga purists, while encouraging people of all faiths to practice yoga, recoil at the Christian co-opting of its ancient traditions--especially when used as a tool for evangelizing. "We shouldn't use yoga to sell our students anything," says Patricia Walden, a renowned disciple of hatha yoga guru B.K.S. Iyengar. Moreover, others argue, Hinduism is not like a recipe ingredient that can be extracted from yoga.
