...much has been written about me, and so many people want to know what it's like to be on the other side of the interviewer's table.' NATASCHA KAMPUSCH, the Austrian woman held captive in a cellar for 8 1/2 years, on becoming the host of her own TV show just two years after her escape...
...Elisabeth's successful pregnancies showed, the body can handle realities against which the mind revolts.

But the senior investigator in Amstetten, Franz Polzer, said that the cruel deliberateness of Josef Fritzl's deed outstripped the Kampusch case...
...Pattabhi Jois, who taught Natascha here, was a disciple of Krishnamacharya, whose style he took to the world. But she also studied with Jois's student B.N.S. Iyengar, who moved away from his guru's rigidly-defined sequence of postures towards greater emphasis on the spiritual. "If anyone asks me for advice, I suggest Jois for flexibility, and Iyengar for concentration," she says, while demonstrating a split and touching her forehead to the ground as nonchalantly as a cat stretching after...
