...stick around a grass field earn more than the president of the United States? College graduates ought to pass up law, medicine, and business, and head for the baseball diamond. With all due respect to the fans, commentators, columnists, and owners who utter cries of indignation at those fat contracts and predict the demise of the game, there are a number of justifications for the players' present bargaining position...
When the dollars had finally stopped flying, the majority of free agents had procured fat contracts, generally stipulating $200,000 to $400,000 per year in actual salary. However, despite the owners' warning that the successful on-field franchises would confiscate all the talent, furthering the discrepancy between team performances, all but one of the free agents, flamboyant Reggie Jackson, signed with clubs that had worse winning percentages than their past employer. If in this any way augurs future trends, one can put aside this fear...
...down from Cambridge University, Angry Young Man David Frost presided over a rude, crude, outrageously nervy weekly show that revolutionized British television and became a footnote in the modern-history books.

Phillips does not know why there was a change in the ratio of estradiol to testosterone in the heart attack victims, but his work has shown that the hormone imbalance is also related to other abnormalities frequently found in heart patients-higher-than-normal levels of blood cholesterol, fat, sugar and insulin.

If the hormonal imbalance is proved to be the root cause of heart disease, Phillips concluded, diet, drugs or other means might be used to change the blood hormone...
...hips, which for a runner provides a longer stride. According to Edward Hunt, an anthropologist at Penn State University, blacks tend to have lighter trunks and heavier bones. The average black's lungs are a little smaller relative to body weight. Then, too, young blacks carry less body fat than white youths. These characteristics, combined with relatively larger limbs and hands, he says, should be advantageous for sports that require quick movement. Yet they may well put blacks at a disadvantage in swimming, for example, where less fat and heavier bones make for less buoyancy. Dr. James Haines...
