...DIDN'T LAST, this mainline no-cholesterol shoot-up in the hardening arteries of country music. Steve Goodman has paunched down into Chicago's home-grown favorite, writing witty little ditties without much punch. Jerry Jeff is falling prey to cirrhosis of the brain. John Prine's upcoming album offers the only hope in the bunch for a bucktooth overbite country record. And Jimmy Buffett, well, he said it four years ago in "A Brand New Country Star": "He's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle he can either go country...

Some tactics for doing that are already available. At Stanford University, researchers have discovered that middle-aged male runners have HDL levels nearly 50% higher than their peers; their levels might be mistaken for those of young women, who are naturally endowed with more HDL and seldom have heart attacks. Other studies have shown that shedding flab and following a diet rich in vegetables...
