...relationship to the facts of the campaign, but after reporters and editors decided that the peak had been reached—roughly ten months before the general election, and before a single vote had been cast in a primary or caucus—they imposed on their audience a diet of character defamation coupled with early pronouncements of death, making Dean into an increasingly difficult choice for voters. More than any other candidate, Dean was made—and unmade—with the pages and cameras of major news outlets. The media did not play fair, and with Dean?...
...religion or politics, but if you want to get a real fight going, talk about your diet. The low-fat vs. low-carb battle got ugly last week, with both sides arguing over how hefty a corpse Dr. Robert Atkins left behind. Not since the death of Ayatullah Khomeini have people fought so much over a dead body. From the moment Atkins died from head injuries after slipping on a patch of ice in Manhattan last April at age 72, the low-fat fanatics have been trying to prove the low-carb guru had been on a diet to disaster...
...next of kin or a physician who has treated the patient.

The Atkins people insist his coronary arteries were fine until he got a viral infection three years ago that reduced his heart's pumping capacity to 15% to 20% of normal, just shy of making him a candidate for a transplant. But conspiracy theorists wanted to attribute Atkins...
...arguments are bitter because the stakes are high: 17 million Americans are estimated to have tried a low-carb diet within the past year. And people get testy when they're told their rigorous diet might be bad for them. There's nothing worse than finding out you ate 875 bacon strips just for the taste...
