This week, Deepak Chopra, medical expert, ayurvedic entrepreneur and New Age savant picks up another title: New Testament author. Chopra's book, Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment, speculates a story of the Messiah-to-be during what might be called his early Wanderjahr. And wander he does. We meet Jesus consulting with a guru on an icy mountaintop in what seems like Tibet.

They were hardworking and fun personalities.” Even after the loss on Saturday, Romanelli had a smile on her face. Taking their last jog together hand-in-hand with their team after the game, the five seniors left the field with hugs...
...Hampshire to Nevada, but the American voters have proven them wrong. As Barack Obama frequently says, his is a uniquely American story. That this self-described “skinny kid with a funny name” can rise to the highest office in the nation is a testament to the power of the American Dream. That said, President Obama will face profound challenges when he comes into office, ranging from a stagnant economy to two wars with no end in sight. It has frequently been asserted that Obama’s appeal is all rhetoric and no substance, that...
