...veteran skinny-dipper, I had spent time at smaller nudist resorts in the past and was thus prepared for most of my social encounters in the bare-skinned section of Le Cap d'Agde, separated from "the textile world" by a guarded gate where visitors pay a nominal entrance fee. One of the slogans for the Naked City, I was told, is SEE AND BE SEEN! I had also heard about "boutiques where you can use the changing room--or try it on where you stand...
Lazio may be more willing to add some rough edges to his Little League, High School Stamp Club and Youth for Ford persona if his early successes hadn't come without his having had to bare his teeth. While Lazio rightly gets credit for a David vs. Goliath victory over 18-year veteran Tom Downey in 1992, Downey largely defeated himself. In the memorable words of the national Republican Party chairman, the party was willing to "stuff money into every orifice" to capitalize on the weakness of an incumbent already hemorrhaging from self-inflicted wounds, like overdrafts at the House...
...code for all our genes, however many there turn out to be, and locating them within the 23 chromosomes in the human genome may turn out to be the necessary first step to solving all these mysteries. The hope is that the completed genome will enable scientists to lay bare the genetic triggers for hundreds of diseases--from Alzheimer's to diabetes to heart disease--and to devise exquisitely sensitive diagnostic tests. It will help pharmaceutical companies create drugs tailored to a patient's genetic profile, boosting effectiveness while drastically reducing side effects. It could change our very conception...
...this narcissism or catharsis? It's hard to tell the difference nowadays, but several VTV veterans explain their decisions to bare all in the language of therapy and personal growth. Survivor contestant Sonja Christopher, 63, was already a survivor--of breast cancer--and signed on as a way of moving on. "I had been through a lot in the past two years," she says. "Following this fantasy, doing this crazy thing, was a way to try to heal myself. It was a survival instinct." "I felt suffocated and trapped in the life I was in," says The Real World...
WebTV's other advantage is its range of choices, from a bare-bones unit for $99 to a souped-up model combining satellite TV, digital recording and Net access for $449. Monthly fees range from $10 to $75. AOLTV, on the other hand, will launch with no digital-recording features (although it promises them later in the year as part of the deal it announced with TiVo last week). And everyone who buys AOLTV will have to pay $250 for the box plus a monthly fee of $14.95 (for existing AOL members) or $24.95 (for new users...
