...whose daily regimen includes whole-grain bread, no sugar, a two-hour workout and 45 daily vitamins. At 5 ft. 10 in. and 165 Ibs., Stallone appears slighter in person than he does on the screen. But on the slender legs of a runner resides the torso of Charles Atlas. His face is healthily gaunt: rosy but hollow cheeks guard the languid brown eyes. When the yellow cloth fell from the 8½-ft, $70,000 movie-prop bronze statue, Stallone gazed upon his features on the face of a fiction. That confrontation has taken place before. Rocky has made...
When a worn, but serviceable, Atlas-D rocket boosted John Glenn's Friendship 7 space capsule 162 miles into space for man's first orbit of the earth, the achievement overshadowed an orbital trip made three months earlier by a 37-lb., Cameroon-born colleague named Enos.

In fact, the only people...
...steak houses and French restaurants. If the body belonged to Clint Eastwood or Sophia Loren, it was interesting. Otherwise, except in bed, it was ignored by the public in favor of more important pursuits like winning the space race or building the New Society. Of course, Muscle Man Charles Atlas beckoned to boys from ads in comic books (Don't let bullies kick sand in your face, weakling) and a few grownups even lifted weights at Vic Tanny's. By the early '70s, however, a sweeping change was literally afoot. At a cocktail party, the old-fashioned...
