...breathy memoirs; today they write about deep-breathing exercises. Victoria Principal, who plays J.R. Ewing's saintly sister-in-law on Dallas, has been a fitness buff for years. "In my publicity photos they used to airbrush the muscles out of my arms," says Principal, who jogs up a mountain three times a week. Now she has her revenge: The Body Principal is soon to hit the bookstores, where it will join the dozens of other glossy guides like Jane Fonda's ? on weight lifting and weight reducing, on holistic medicine and pregnancy therapy ? that crowd the special...

"When Jim believes he's right, he's a man of action," says Lawyer William Mellor III, who worked for Watt...
...bodied men in the Turkish army and bludgeoned them to death. Intellectuals and community leaders in Istanbul were herded aboard ships, then drowned at sea. Armenian babies were thrown live into pits and covered with stones. Women, children and old people were forced to march hundreds of miles, over mountains, presumably to a place of deportation in Syria, but actually to their deaths. Forbidden supplies of food and water, they were waylaid by brigands. Turkish gendarmes raped and sometimes disemboweled or cut the breasts off women before finally killing them. While the horrified U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, Henry Morgenthau...
