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.

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.

The attacks seem to be expressions of the same anger that caused the prisoners' original crimes.

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." They want...
