CBS' Ben Tracy told us about the trouble facing James Arthur Ray and his Spiritual Warrior retreat in Arizona's Sedona Desert. Attendees paid the guru $9,000 to attend the five-day retreat. Some 60 of them had been packed in a sweat lodge for two hours when breathing became difficult: 21 were hospitalized; now three are dead. "Ray has run into trouble before," Tracy noted, including the time he urged a follower to break a board with her hand--her bones, not the board, were what ended up broken. This summer a 46-year-old devotee "jumped to her death at a California mall after another Ray event." Ray faces wrongful death lawsuits following the sweat lodge calamity.
