...through a park, there are probably still a dozen more Americans for whom a stiff workout is getting up during a TV commercial to fetch another beer. Most physical-fitness advocates approach this sedentary majority by exhorting or even trying to scare them into activity. But Laurence Morehouse, a physiologist at the University of California at Los Angeles, is currently winning many converts with another approach. Out since March, his new book Total Fitness (Simon & Schuster; $6.95) has already sold more than 200,000 copies and is hovering near the top of bestseller lists throughout the country on the strength...
Faulty Physiology. Doctors generally find fault with Ronsard's physiology. What the author calls cellulite is plain ordinary fat and certainly not toxic wastes, says Physiologist Marci Greenwood, a research associate at Columbia University's Institute of Human Nutrition. The dimpling effect, says Greenwood, often is caused by the loss of skin elasticity that occurs with aging. Nor is there any way to get rid of the dimpling. Exercise and proper diet may improve skin and muscle tone and make this excess adipose tissue less obvious, but it will not make it go away. Says Greenwood: "Body type...

For some time, Perew (John Pleshette) and Lacey (Fred Grandy) have shared a flat in an English university town. They also share an active fantasy life which is hilariously funny yet shadowed by increasing hysteria. In this relationship Lacey is called Bradshaw and Perew is Carruthers...
...display much more of a 'couldn't care less' attitude." In Tromsø, reports Psychiatrist Harald Reppesgaard of Asgard Mental Hospital, "the whole city slows down. People's concentration and work capacity are reduced, and they are always tired." Adds R. Kaare Rodahl, an Oslo physiologist who has done research in the Arctic: "The polar night has a tendency to bring out the least desirable elements in human behavior-envy, jealousy, suspicion, egotism, irritability...
