Back in 1976, when Jerry Ford was still President and Shirley Babashoff was still queen of American women's swimming, the muscular mermaids from the German Democratic Republic capped their dramatic rise to aquatic supremacy by taking 11 of 13 gold medals at the Montreal Olympics. This past summer, a band of upstart teenagers from the U.S., weaned on heavy weight-training programs and enticed by the prospect of increasingly available college scholarships, startled more than a few people at the World Championships in West Berlin by swiping nine gold medals while their supposedly awesome rivals managed only...
...both stars of Hal Needham's upcoming comedy western, The Villain, are trim and fit. Says Arnold: "Ann-Margret can run six miles without breathing hard." Only good form, of course, to hold the third bankable name in the cast up for praise, too. "Kirk Douglas is very muscular and lean and in great shape," judges Schwarzenegger.

The last under-60 Pope, Pius IX, reigned for 32 years. At age 58, Wojtyla is robust and muscular (he was described in the national daily The Australian as "a man built like a rugby front-row forward"), and it thus seemed possible that he could lead his faith into the 21st century. Plainly, the Cardinals had opted for a long pontificate. Just as plainly, they had chosen...
...School is "busy raising money, developing a very muscular intellectual agenda for a center in business and government, another in regulation, another in capital formation, one in energy and environment," Ira Jackson, associate dean of the Kennedy School, says...
