...Madonna found it first, and I'm following in the footsteps of the stars," groans Minneapolis attorney Patricia Bloodgood. "But I don't think you should reject something just because it's trendy." Bloodgood had the bright idea to commandeer part of the lobby in the office building where she works for a Monday-evening yoga class. Yoginis can spend a weekend at (or devote their lives to) such retreats as Kripalu, where each year 20,000 visitors take part in programs ranging from "The Science of Pranayama and Bandha" to African-drum workshops and singles weekends. In L.A. they...

"The loudest voices, the most passionate and articulate spokespersons for the power of the mind to heal come not from the research community but from the growing number of gurus... the hawkers on TV for alternative treatments, herbs, homeopathy, handbooks." Rose distinguished...
...apologizing-for-something-I-didn't-do argument strikes me as deeply literal-minded - read narrow-minded. (It's a moral corollary to the not-in-my-own-backyard syndrome.) In general, I find that the same people who reject the idea of collective guilt are the very ones who take pride in the victories and achivements of institutions with which they identify - say their universities or community - but have not in any way contributed.
