...herself trapped by her inability to move beyond the war, and at points in Winners and Losers her tone becomes a little holier-than-thou when she writes of her own anguish. The book is an effort to exorcise her own memories, as well as an effort to jog those of other people; to this extent, Wills's comment is a fair one. But the book she has written is not, as Wills suggests, ineffectual protest; it is a powerful reminder of the agony caused by a senseless war that dragged on and on because no one would admit...
...built it into my schedule. I do everything else around it," says Illinois Governor James Thompson, 40. The all-important "it" is his exercise routine. The 6-ft. 6-in., 210-lb. Governor makes three trips a week to the Nautilus health club in Springfield, Ill., to pump iron, jog, and work out on elaborate stretching machines. Says he: "This job is a man killer.

Later in the day, after calisthenics and a rest, the slightly built (5 ft. 9 in., 135 Ibs.) miler would run to the point of exhaustion. Unlike the notoriously roistering Walker, Bayi does not smoke or drink, and, while...
...visit to London, where she arranged for publication of her work. Her poems, often on religious or patriotic themes, occasionally lapse into sentimentality. It is also apparent that her favorite reading is Pope's translation of Homer. Within this idiom, which can so easily descend to jog trot, she frequently so descends. But in all fairness it must be admitted that no other poet currently writing in the Colonies does much better...
