...give your life to be able to stand up. Your back is killing you so much you'd do anything to get out of that crouch." Each race has distinctive elements of suffering. The 1,500-meter, for example: "When it's over, you cough up fluid from your lungs for a couple of days afterward. The 1,500-meter hack, we call it. I like the 1,500-meter the most, but I've got to prepare for the pain. The only way you can win it is by suffering...

Anyone looking for fluid dance sequences, uninterrupted by camera tricks, had better go back and see The Turning Point.

...does the body recognize when it is too fat? Work at the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle suggests that the signal may be the level of insulin in the cerebrospinal fluid. In a six-year study, researchers found that by infusing insulin directly into the brains of baboons they could get the animals to eat less and lose weight. The findings suggest a novel way to combat obesity in human beings. Fat people produce insulin in normal amounts, but the insulin sensing mechanisms in their brains may be defective. Thus, compared with people whose weight is normal...
...ground and came up with the celebrated new track for Harvard's Indoor Tennis and Track Building. The track has both improved the team's times and decreased its injuries. In their lifesized dummy of the human leg, aluminum bars substitute for bones, simple springs for muscles and a fluid shock absorber for tendons. When the same surface they designed from their model was put down in Madison Square Garden, records fell and McMahon and Greene found themselves sought after by the unlikely technical journals, Sports Illustrated and The New Yorker, for cover stories...
