...mechanics in soiled khaki uniforms; skinny blond boys who work as bag boys at Publix; and occasionally they are pretty, olive-skinned women, like Teresa Taglione, with dangling gold earrings, blow-dried hair and lots of eyeliner. Teresa, 24, is a world champion in the women's 120-lb. class. She got involved in arm wrestling through her brother Ray, 33, a stockbroker and gym owner, who is a heavy favorite in today's 155-lb. and 175-lb. classes...
...fashioned Jeep lovers sneer at the toys and their trappings. According to George McVey Sr., 48, headmaster of St. Christopher's School in Richmond and owner of two Jeep Cherokees, the Japanese versions just do not have the oomph needed to haul his 3,000-lb. boat: "The Isuzu Trooper just couldn't pull it." Nor are the teeny trucks well suited to long-distance drives. Atlanta Salesman Stewart Powell, 25, describes a "miserable" 200-mile journey in his Samurai: "It's like driving a go-cart.

Then, at the high school where Kirk had just begun his freshman year...
Their lawyers face a formidable task: justifiable homicide is difficult to prove. Defense attorneys must first convince juries that severe abuse took place, then demonstrate why the defendants felt they had no other options. Pierson, a quiet and somewhat immature teenager, says her 240-lb. father began sexually abusing her when she was about eleven, progressing until he was having sexual intercourse with her as often as three times a day. She claimed that he even molested her in the car on the way to the hospital to visit her mother, who died in 1985. "It was awful," she says...
...best, pro football has become a beastly game, overgrown to the point that last season's 263-lb. center for the Washington Redskins was summarily judged too small for the post this year. "Strength" coaches credit the Nautilus exercise machines, but not even Jules Verne could stand beside a modern lineman and imagine this is a product of natural nutrition. The rate at which these superhuman beings injure one another has gone beyond the level of an epidemic, and the extent of the owners' compassion was expressed last week by the wife of Jack Kent Cooke. Asked if her husband...
