...strip with a pencil, often to the accompaniment of thundering Rolling Stones music. The lines are gone over in ink by an artist at the syndicate's Kansas City headquarters. Trudeau can be spotted most afternoons jogging around the park behind his house. "I'm a religious jogger," says Trudeau, who spends three hours a day at it. Doonesbury's characters could fill a catalogue with their bizarre tastes, but their progenitor has few weaknesses. Among them are junk food and Dr. Pepper. He is so casual about feeding habits that he keeps a can of frozen...
Rising sales of tennis equipment and enrollments in health clubs suggest that the U.S. is becoming a nation of fitness fiends. Yet for every jogger puffing through a park, there are probably still a dozen more Americans for whom a stiff workout is getting up during a TV commercial to fetch another beer. Most physical-fitness advocates approach this sedentary majority by exhorting or even trying to scare them into activity. But Laurence Morehouse, a physiologist at the University of California at Los Angeles, is currently winning many converts with another approach. Out since March, his new book Total Fitness...
Even the most dedicated jogger must admit that his sport is purely hygienic. The bouncing exercise never allows the eyes to rest; the country seems to jiggle by on springs.

On opening night Mick Jogger sent Kemp a basket of lilies, and the critics sent Kemp a bouquet of reviews in which outrage mingled with fascination. "I don't want to shock people," retorts Kemp. "I want to astonish them." He has been deeply influenced by French Playwright Jean Genet and Mime Marcel Marceau. "To me," says...
...side of town-and has lived for the past 22 years on a farm just outside the city. He has been a highly successful accounting executive: since he took over in 1968, Seidman & Seidman, which specializes in tax matters, has expanded from 14 U.S. offices to 47. Seidman, a jogger and avid antiques collector, is also something of a frustrated politician: he lost a campaign for Michigan auditor general in 1962, headed the Romney for President office in Washington in 1967-68, and withdrew early last year from a race for the congressional seat Ford vacated to become Vice President...
