Many Americans have simply given up on the battle of the bulge. The stringent diets and ``no pain, no gain'' exercise ethic of the '80s are probably the reason.

People should look for fun, easy ways to get more active every day. The key is for them to pick exercise activities they enjoy, because they are more likely to stick to them. Crash diets and fanatical exercise regimes simply do not foster adherence...
With her impudent wit, penchant for baseball caps and indulgence in high-powered '80s socializing, HEATHER WATTS never fit the image of demure ballerina. Known for sharp movements and an idiosyncratic style, she suffered poor reviews early in her career but won critics over in Balanchine's 1980 Davidsbundlertanze.

Motivated by the noblest intentions no doubt, she nonetheless came up with what was, from almost any ideological perspective, the health...
Gilder and Gingrich met in the early '80s, at the time when Wealth and Poverty was making waves. "I've had a friendly relationship with him for years," Gilder says, "particularly with the people around him." Gilder admits he does not have the close friendship with the new Speaker that the Tofflers enjoy. "But," he adds, "my ideology is more akin to Gingrich's." He also claims he knows more than the Tofflers do about such new technologies as fiber optics and semiconductors. "That's my business. Gingrich is interested in it. He's consulted me from time to time...
