Even on your first trip to a skin flick parlor, what first strikes you is not the bare bosom on the screen, but the people in the audience. There are about fifty lean men, sitting bolt-upright and silent, and scattered evenly throughout the theatre. Un-written skin flick code says no one may sit within three seats of anyone else, even on crowded weekends...
...quite remote from this enthusiastic level. A number are in a category with Essay Reporter George Taber, a sometime exerciser whose weekend effort now consists of lifting the Sunday New York Times. Others are on a par with (but few as lucky as) the Bonn bureau's lean Burton Pines, who says, "Eating hard-frozen chocolate ice cream is all the exercise I get-and that's all I need." At any rate, it can be said that we have enough opinion-and expertise on that side of the question to provide a broad and balanced perspective...
...Tilt Toward Britain. Still unset tled is the question of who will make the powerful fanjet engines for the DC-10.

Richard Hittleman, 40, neither chugs, tugs or mugs. His Yoga for Health, styled as an antidote to the "grunt-and-groan school," is so tranquil that it seems to be running in slow motion. No rippling triceps for him; lean as a leek, he eats only one meal a day. Preaching that "the body is the temple of the spirit" he claims that "20 minutes of yoga is worth an hour of ordinary exercise." During a breathing exercise, he says softly: "As we inhale we will visualize ourselves taking in from the cosmos the life force. As we exhale...
