Three weeks ago, after manually constructing breasts, bruising myself with batons and adorning a blue crushed velvet leotard, I captured the title of Miss Harvard 2002. I successfully transformed myself from an awkward nerd to a voluptuous bombshell by applying a sharp razor to my hairy legs and a thick layer of concealer to my blemished face. Post-pageant, with my bouquet of roses dying and my breasts in the trash can, I assumed I would resume the mundane, insular life where I’m mildly anti-social and invariably celibate (the latter not by choice). But the rhinestone...
...want to get healthy. You know you need to exercise more. You may have even jump-started your New Year's resolutions by joining a gym. But if you're not ready to squeeze into shorts or a leotard and grunt through an hour of Spinning or Jazzercize or kickboxing, don't despair. There's growing agreement among exercise researchers that the intense physical activities offered by most health clubs is not the only--or even necessarily the best--path to better health.

It is, therefore, not a peace deal, but a political agreement between the country's main parliamentary parties...
...routine like an elegant and angry bird. As she moved, the crowd was reminded how big she is for gymnast. At 164 cm., she looks as almost as tall as the beam is long. After the beam, Svetlana deflated and turned back into a too-skinny girl whose leotard was too short in the arms. She sunk into a chair sulking from sidelines until she got word that there had been a problem with the vault. For the first half of the competition, the vault had been set 5 cm. too low. For a gymnast, especially a tall one, this...
