  1. Google doodles South Africa's Miriam Makeba on her 81st birthday

    Some female singers puff themselves up with bogus titles like Lady Such-and-Such or the Queen of Pop.
    Some female singers puff themselves up with bogus titles like Lady Such-and-Such or the Queen of Pop. But unlike those pale pretenders to the crown, Miriam Makeba, the great South African artist who passed away in 2008 at age 76, actually earned her...

  2. Buried history in Hanoi

    Out beyond the swank poolside bar at Hanoi's Metropole hotel, which I visited last month, a gated entrance opens onto a dark set of stairs. At the bottom is a dank and musty bomb shelter, and, for those who can read Vietnamese, a sign in golden lettering explaining that Joan Baez and Jane Fonda once took refuge there.

  4. Michael Murphy, Esalen's potentialist

    Before the Esalen Institute, there was Michael Murphy's family's property, a choice chunk of gorgeous Big Sur, where, in 1962, Murphy (writer, seeker) and his friend and fellow human potentialist Dick Price dedicated the Murphy land to the now 50-year-old center for the pursuit of personal and social consciousness-raising. Notables like Aldous Huxley, Abraham Maslow, Joan Baez and Henry Miller contemplated themselves and the world there. Esalen's scholarly social initiatives tend to get overlooked, while the touchy-feely stuff gets the attention. Recent staff changes, the opening of a Carmel office and putting meat — albeit organic — on Esalen's menu has some grousing about its pristine alt cred. Murphy, now director of Esalen's Center for Theory and Research, is a witty, well-schooled man who stays — there's no other word for it — centered.
