...BEATLES MADE THEIR guru famous when they visited his ashram in 1968, but in the end, Transcendental Meditation founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi may have regretted the association. The maharishi brought TM--the??practice of exploring consciousness through meditation and chanting--to the U.S. in 1959, and with the cachet of star followers like the Rolling Stones and Mia Farrow, it became a multimillion-dollar global business. But the gray-haired guru was said to have become uncomfortable with its drug-using, counterculture fan base. After the Fab Four's celebrated visit, the band and its guru famously split.

...this new year, there has been an earthquake in the public arena. Front runners recast themselves as scrappy underdogs. The public proved willing to back leaders who departed from traditional scripts. And both the competitors and the??media scrambled to make sense of the new rules of this upended game...
While Putin may be "Tsar of the??New Russia," as you called him, he is most definitely its new prince as described by Machiavelli back in the 16th century. Putin has managed his power with a deftness and an intelligence rarely seen in modern statesmen. You have it right; his Russia will be a major element of the 21st century...
