...diaphragm. Taking issue with those who dismiss high blood pressure as a hazard, Breall draws attention to the danger of "weight lifter's hypertension." A man performing "severe isometrics," he explains, markedly increases his blood pressure because he tenses his arm or leg muscles and cuts down the flow of blood through them...

In the streets you know that there is something like a river, and that all along you have been trying to fight your way upstream. In the streets, you flow downstream, and are aware of the energy that moves you. But that doesn't mean that it's easy...
