...rowing, and have learned to do things like “feather.” Note: Feathering is a rowing term for how to rotate the oars as they cycle through the water and air. It’s also harder to tip with two people, although the huskier boats, called “wherries,” which beginners use, are usually more difficult to tip than the slender, long boats used by racers. The water-weary need not fret, however, because beginners are taught in rowing simulator “tanks” until...
Denial is a wonderful thing. But before you dash out for doughnuts: "Many people have genetics that lead to a huskier look, and often that huskiness is not fat. [But] there are people we all know who used to be fat, then permanently changed their life-styles, and are now thin." says Dr. David Heber of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition.

...galvanic energy and commanding musicianship would dare to perform against such a busy background. Sam & Dave qualify on both counts. Weaving and dancing, they gyrate through enough acrobatics to wear out more than 100 costumes a year.

Though Negroes constitute 80% of the prison population, more than half...
...economy was in low gear, Fiat built small cars-robust, versatile, economic. But since its 1964 slump, the economy has been picking up speed, and now Fiat is too. Its cars are getting bigger and faster. Tiny, 500 cc. to 600 cc. "Mickey Mouse" models are giving way to huskier, 1,000 cc. to 1,500 cc. sedans that now account for 34% of production. And demand for the bigger, more powerful cars is increasing steadily. With fatter paychecks in their pockets, 4,000,000 Italians now take to the new, no-speed-limit autostradas for "il weekend."
