WISEGUY: COMMON (page 108)
After he attended a
White House poetry reading last May, Common became Fox News' latest
target. But the iconic 39-year-old "conscious" rapper isn't going to let
that mess with his flow.
TECHTOPIA: PETER THIEL (page 190)
Peter Thiel rose
to fame by launching Paypal and funding a little upstart called
Facebook. Today, you'll find the 43-year-old gay Libertarians
fingerprints on—and his seed money in—everything from DNA manipulation
to Hollywood movies, along with any Silicon Valley enterprise worth
knowing about.
MEDITATION NATION (page 178)
Power brokers no
longer motivate or medicate—they meditate. How transcendental meditation
returned as the new status symbol.
THE BODY: THE FITNESS REVOLUTION? (page 138)
You log countless hours in the gym, following a traditional routine that
dutifully alternates strength and cardio, but you still can't achieve
the kind of arm definition you see in the magazines. For years experts
have maintained that heavy lifting and cardio are the keys to building
muscle and blasting fat, but the latest exercise science is turning
conventional wisdom on its head.
