...million Americans into some 80 chrome-and-red-carpet Vic Tanny gyms scattered across the U.S., signed them up to membership contracts of six months (typical East Coast price: $185) to "permanent" (seven years: $360) on the pay-as-you-perspire plan. Last week in Chicago, Tanny's muscular sell was sporting several Charley horses. In Cook County circuit court a blind man asked for an injunction to release him from a $385 Tanny membership contract, claiming he went to Tanny's for a job, was told by a Tanny salesman that he had to sign a free...

Walter Edward Hoffman, 53, Federal District Court of Eastern Virginia. When he took his oath of judicial office six years ago, muscular, mild-mannered "Beef" Hoffman turned to his Methodist pastor and asked for a prayer.

His major legal monument is a series of important decisions in 1957 and 1958 that led to token integration of Norfolk's public schools. With unfailing sympathetic words...
