About 80 guests, a quarter of them male, gather in the clubhouse for cocktails (Perrier and bitters), then dinner (coq au vin, 221 calories). Conversation immediately turns to food.

These days, even the wise guys order a second Perrier. On any given day in the Republic this year, a record 70 million Americans-almost half the adult population-will practice some form of corporeal self-betterment. The figure is a startling one: in 1960 only 24% worked out. Paring it, preening it, pumping it up and pounding it down, the body national is being rejuvenated with a relentless impatience, slimmed with a fanatic dedication...
