...they are not on a vendetta against Phoebe, though their feud with the hospital took some ugly turns. Aiming to draw attention to what they felt were unscrupulous practices, they sent faxes to local politicians and businesses last fall and winter, including one that showed a cartoon of a fat "Phoebe Exec" puffing on a cigar, with a caption saying, IS THERE REALLY CORRUPTION AT PHOEBE? Around the same time, they say, their office at Albany Surgical was bugged. Rehberg's wife Wanda reports coming home one day and finding the door lock jammed. She saw a phone-company employee...
Being overweight is never good for your health, but a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that sometimes it's better to be fit than thin. As part of the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation, researchers found that inactive women, no matter how thin or fat, were much more likely to have heart attacks and other cardiac problems than women who exercised. But don't discount the impact of slimming down. In another study in J.A.M.A., research from the ongoing Women's Health Study found that overweight and obese women--regardless of how regularly they exercised...
Your story quoted a gerontologist who said of his pool of research subjects, "I don't have any fat centenarians"--a thought that should catch the attention of baby boomers. I am also a gerontologist, and I've found that people who live long lives have certain traits in common. They are usually feisty and flexible, and they have faith in themselves and the world.

It's not just expectation that weighs on the new show - Crawford appears in a fat suit that renders him unrecognizable. Lloyd Webber insists that he wasn't trying to make Phantom II, but comparisons are inevitable, and unflattering. Phantom was about more than atmospherics: it had a focused narrative drive and a brilliant illusionist production by Hal Prince. Woman, by contrast, is often pallid and dramatically confused...
...life were fair, John "Boom-Boom" Howard and Peter "Put-It-on-Credit" Costello would one day get a monument honoring their services to consumerism, wealth accumulation and fat profits. Perhaps a statue at every shopping mall or a team portrait in real-estate agencies would do the trick. Or maybe the banks could issue platinum credit cards celebrating the Liberal Prime Minister and Treasurer's contribution to the Swipe-It culture. They've had some luck, no doubt, but Howard and Costello have taken taxing and spending to audacious new levels, pushed away the poor's support struts...
