Cycling is an especially forgiving sport, which commends it to the millions of Americans who want to tone their muscles without jarring their joints. "You can work about as hard or as leisurely as you want," says Houston Surgeon Michael Appel, 50, who pedals twelve miles to work and back every day. "I can do more vigorous exercise without things beginning to hurt." Unlike the hunchback racers of old, this year's hottest models are more comfortable and more durable than earlier ones. "It's really hard for a good bike to break down these days," says Chuck McCullagh, publisher...
...life belt may prove formidable. The federal Clean Water Act of 1972 overlooked runoff pollution in setting standards for water quality. Meanwhile, the nation's coasts are subject to the jurisdiction of a bewildering (and often conflicting) array of governmental bodies. One prime example of this confusion, reports TIME Houston Bureau Chief Richard Woodbury, is found in North Carolina's Albemarle-Pamlico region. There both the federal Food and Drug Administration and a state agency regulate the harvesting of shellfish. A third agency, the state's health department, surveys and samples the water and shellfish. And another state body sets...

In May his The Fall of the House of Usher, based on Poe's grisly tale, opened in Cambridge, Mass. Seven weeks later, the Houston Grand Opera premiered his operatic setting of Doris Lessing's novel The Making of the Representative for Planet 8.

Although Bentsen is proud of representing business interests, he likes to think of himself as a middle-of-the-road Senator willing to turn left when conviction or politics dictates. He has long been an advocate of civil rights: he opened his Houston hotel to blacks in 1963, before the law required integration and while other major hotels remained segregated. He was one of the few Southern House members to vote for repeal of the poll tax in 1949. Personal circumstances -- illness in his family -- have softened his view on the Government's role in social programs...
