Despite the precautions, none of the experts were worried about the overall reliability of the 747, which some pilots affectionately call "Fat Albert" because of its bulging profile. Many consider it one of the safest airliners ever built. It is also the largest, with a wingspan of 196 ft. and a length of 232 ft. Boeing has delivered 618 of the planes to 68 airlines since production began in 1966. Only 15 of the jumbos have been lost, and none of the previous accidents were attributed to structural or mechanical defects. Still, the sundered tail sections that dropped into Sagami...
...transferring his 1982 Broadway play to the screen, John Pielmeier has achieved a sort of Jane Fonda Workout of rewriting. He has stripped it of dialogue fat and added muscle and connective tissue. The piece, which took place on a bare stage, now roams through a handsome Quebec abbey and beyond. Within or outside the convent, however, Agnes would be a girlish anachronism. She is of another age--perhaps 13, perhaps the 13th century. She believes, like a medieval ascetic, that any seeker of sanctity should flagellate the sins out of her body, and she is convinced that the child...
Jake Steinfeld was perhaps the first to make a public reputation with a best-selling 1984 book and videocassette (Body by Jake). But many in lo-fat, hi-fad Southern California now swear by Isaacson. A muscular, 5 ft. 7 in. 155 pounder who bears a remarkable resemblance to Bruce Jenner, Isaacson, 36, has perfected the art of dealing with the nonsense and the no-nonsense attitudes of stars. He cajoles, he flatters, but he produces. "Hollywood's based on taking care of business," he says. "We get it done. We make it happen. For me the bottom line...
Isaacson loves to make celebrities sweat, and they love to let him. He is among the best known of a bustling new breed: personal trainers who suddenly can be found in every major U.S. city where there is money and fat to burn. Trainers are to the narcissistic '80s what private fencing masters and dancing teachers were to an earlier time. These status symbols in sweat socks, always perfectly fit, fit perfectly. They signal affluence (private hour-long sessions at a studio or client's home run $50 to $150) without suggesting decadence. Los Angeles, a city that has always...
...have some svelte friends who could learn a lot from your article "Can You Be Fat & Healthy?" Unfortunately, they are downtown drinking and chain smoking. Meanwhile, I am enjoying an evening with TIME, resting up from 45 miles of weekend cycling. I may wear larger-size clothes than some, but my blood pressure and cholesterol levels are low. We need much more reporting on the issue of health as opposed to thinness...
