Studies of Seventh-Day Adventists in Utah support this finding. Those unusually clean-living Americans are genetically diverse, but they avoid alcohol, caffeine and tobacco--and they tend to live an average of eight years longer than their countrymen. All of this is good news, with a Surgeon General's warning attached: you can't change your genes, but you can change what you eat and how much you exercise. "The lesson is pretty clear from my point of view in terms of what the average person should be doing," says Perls. "I strongly believe that with some changes...
...year-old can be managed rather well. My little girl, thanks to her vigilant mother, does not watch television (except for approved videos) or eat fast food (except when with her aunt) or drink soda pop (ditto) or use foul language. She wears clean clothes and is fed fresh fruit and vegetables and that sort of thing. She is taken to kiddie concerts of classical music and to children's theater. At bedtime, with a little prompting, she bows her head and prays for people. Her teeth are clean and bright. Here I am, an old Democrat...
...school dress codes--with girls in ultra-low-rise jeans (often paired with a peekaboo G-string) and itty-bitty graphic Ts. Boys have opted for baggy denim, athletic jerseys and hooded sweatshirts.

At least 22 athletes in a range of sports, from boxing to track and field to weight lifting, were thrown out of the Games for doping-related transgressions, the most in Olympic history.

Said Costas Georgakopoulos, who runs the doping lab at the main Athens Olympic complex that analyzed about 3,000 urine and blood samples during the Games: each positive "means we're successful." In the end, the host nation could say the same. Greece ended with a sparkling medal...
...only has its speed, but also its credibility. Still, even the athletes understand the public trust is tenuous. "The faster I run," says Lauryn Williams, 20, who won two medals, a 100-m silver and 4X100 relay gold, at these Olympics, "the less people will believe I am clean." As the first entrant in the post-BALCO era, U.S. track and field shot off the starting blocks in Athens. Let's hope this isn't a false start...
