Then there's more yoga, lunch and time for a treatment, perhaps from Antonin Zemlicka, a Czech-born therapist who punctuates his savagely deep massages with epigrammatic statements.

It instructed the Polish Catholic church to prevent its station from mixing prayer and politics. The trouble for Poland is that Radio Maryja's excesses are a disturbing straw in the wind. The country's new government is using the broadcaster as its outlet of choice in a campaign to "purify" Poland, an effort...
