Dwight Eisenhower's 1955 heart attack, the most highly publicized coronary occlusion in history, is usually cited as the trigger of this national impulse to perspire for the sake of health. Eisenhower's heart specialist, Paul Dudley White, seized his moment of national prominence to lecture the public repeatedly on its deplorable shape, suggesting that the tone of the body has much to do with the pace of the mind. "The better the legs," said White, still bicycling today at 81, "the clearer the brain." There is little doubt that some triggering was necessary. For the first time...

Too many points of view, too many exacting detail counts substitute trivia for what could be absorbing and coherent action. Perhaps these failings are the result of an attempt to film precise history (even though it may not even be good history). Scenes succeed each other for no apparent reason except to suggest a superficial contrast...
