Gaunt and weak, the sham diet guru who refuses to see the light
Article Abstract:
Ellen Greve, a former businesswoman from Brisbane, Australia, has attracted considerable controversy as the self-styled prophet of the Breatharian Movement, which advocates starvation as a route to spiritual cleansing. She claims to survive on just fruit tea and sunlight. However, she agreed to be shut in a hotel room with no access to food or water for the Australian current affairs programme '60 Minutes,' and began to show the physical symptoms associated with not eating or drinking. The deaths of three people have been linked to her theories.

Forced to grieve in public gaze
Article Abstract:
Princes William and Harry are likely to find it extremely difficult to come to terms with the death of their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. They will be forced to grieve in public, under the gaze of the media, and this will probably make them conceal their emotions. Prince William is known to already greatly dislike the media, but will have to learn to cope with media attention in his future role as King. He was very concerned about the impact of the media on his mother's life and about its role in the break-down of his parents' marriage.
