...alumni who are now 53 to 90. Paffenbarger, who is at Stanford University's medical school, found that men who walked briskly nine or more miles a week had a 21% lower risk of death from heart disease than those who walked less than three miles a week. Michael Pollock, director of the University of Florida's exercise-science center, recommends exercising at an intensity of 60% to 90% of maximum heart rate for up to an hour. However, notes the physiologist, who wrote the American College of Sports Medicine's Guidelines for Fitness in Healthy Adults, "if you choose...

In future, art would hang onto the spread-out, expansive quality of Pollock's work while refreshing it with a new intensity of color, inspired by Matisse...
...Harvard's Department of Visual and Environmental Studies may elicit sneers from cynics who sense pretension in its long-winded title. It may even evoke images of androgenous New Yorkers waving their clove-cigarettes in the air as they emphasize a point about the role of relativism in Jackson Pollock's later works...
