...archaic paintings flashing ever so quickly on the walls of the Fogg Norton Lecture Hall. An alert mind in a trim body, I became irrevocably anesthetized by distantly-articulated words bouncing lazily up the tiered rows of Burr B. Like the summer I spent in Israel, when I ate so many cucumber-laden salads I was forced to stay away from cucumbers for many years, my first year at Harvard exposed me to such an overdose of large lecture courses that in subsequent years I was very particular about my intellectual nourishment...
After workouts this summer, Foreman relaxed at his ranch house in the dry foothills outside Livermore, an agricultural community near Pleasanton. There, behind the locked gates of an imposing cyclone fence, he watched past fights on a video cassette machine, played pool in the downstairs den, and ate the steamed vegetables and lean steaks he prefers (when not training, he relishes fried buffalo fish and gargantuan vanilla ice cream sundaes). But most of all Foreman played with his pets-four dogs and two horses. Foreman is particularly proud of his two German shepherds, Pasha and Daggo. He commands them with...

Until about 1890, they say, the pound of bread that average Britons and Americans ate every day contained much indigestible fiber; because of more elaborate milling techniques, bread now contains less fiber and people are eating less of it. This, the researchers say, has affected both the frequency and the nature of their bowel movements, which in turn have affected their health...
