...While some analysts condemned the study as flawed, its findings delighted University of Colorado law professor Paul Campos, whose provocative book The Obesity Myth was published in 2004.

"The vast majority of people who are being judged as weighing too much by public health authorities throughout the Western world are at a weight where there...
CLEARED. Marion Jones, 30, champion sprinter; of using the endurance booster erythropoietin, for which she tested positive in June; in a follow-up, or B, test; by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency; in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Wyoming's abundance of gas reserves makes it especially attractive. The state's citizens have lived through energy booms--and busts--before. But while oil and gas jobs came and went, the ranch remained. This...

I sat in on classes and was invited to a dinner at which I found myself seated with the President of Costa Rica and a former Senator from Colorado. When my son went to Harvard, I went too. Anyone who is accepted by any first-tier university should think very, very carefully before turning it down. LINDA MELE JOHNSON Long Beach, Calif...
