...institutional mold. The ousted teachers decided to start their own school, which became the Southern California Institute of Architecture, SCI-Arc, a school with an emphasis on experimental approaches. That was in 1972, the same year Mayne started Morphosis with another architect, Jim Stafford. There was a long lean period. But in 1999 Mayne produced his breakthrough building, the Diamond Ranch High School in Pomona, Cal., an ensemble of angular forms that put him on the map. It led to other widely seen projects like the Los Angeles district headquarters of CalTrans, the California Department of Transportation; a federal courthouse...
Even the chefs who haven't gone cold turkey--along with other lean proteins and vegetables--have severely cut down on the foods they enjoy. Rocco DiSpirito, the chef, cookbook author and Dancing with the Stars contestant, went from 216 lb. to 176 lb. pretty quickly after being prodded by his chiropractor to do a charity triathlon despite the fact that he couldn't run a mile.

Could a fat-based fat fighter be far behind...
...Mortensen's dirty, hairy (but still pretty) face rose up from the ashy grave of America, bringing McCarthy's "Man" to life in John Hillcoat's bleakly beautiful movie, I was torn between feeling sorry for my unaccompanied self and feeling sorry for the filmmakers. I read McCarthy's lean, brutalizing novel in one unhappy gulp 15 months ago and only recently began to consider myself healed. How do you lure people to a movie made from a book that itself probably should have borne a mental-health warning from the surgeon general? Do you target the innocents...
