...Innovators series forges ahead this week with a chapter on healers, who range from France's Jean-Pierre Barral, an osteopath with a technique he calls visceral manipulation, to yoga expert Patricia Walden. The section boasts a crisp new look created by our sister act of Marti and MaryAnne Golon. Art director Marti finds inspiration in the animated typography of movie-title sequences and websites. "Using different fonts, with varying weights and colors, I can make your eye bounce around the printed page." Picture editor MaryAnne aims to match the style of the photography to the spirit of the subject...
...Sure, the study's authors discovered, chunky heels are less likely than stilettos to send a woman tumbling off a curb or down a flight of stairs, but they're just as likely to send her scrambling to an osteopath. And, believe it or not, those Blahniks may actually have a kind of built-in safety feature: They're so darn precarious that most women can't wear them for extended periods. Ostensibly healthy chunky heels, on the other hand, encourage a false sense of comfort and safety, and so their wearers keep them on longer, increasing the potential damage...

Osteopath and artist Stephen Ward, whose portrait subjects include eight members of the Royal Family, has been charged with pimping Keeler and Rice- Davies to his posh friends. Part of Ward's bail was reportedly posted by young financier Claus von Bulow...
From early childhood, boys learn that the ideal man looks something like Mr. Universe. "Watch Saturday-morning television, and you'll see all these huge, abnormally muscled beings on cartoons and kids' programming," notes Chicago osteopath Bob Goldman. "Conan and Rambo are the heroes." So are sports stars, some of whom -- like Olympic sprinter Ben Johnson and Seattle Seahawk linebacker Brian Bosworth -- are known to have taken the steroid shortcut. Scrawny youngsters, some only 13, eagerly pay between $50 and $400 to black-market dealers for a six-to-13-week cycle of pills and injectables that could turn them...
