...pounds pressed. Today Americans live in a land where fit is proper. Strut your sweat. The majority, who remain woefully unfit, are now the ones who feel out of step; shamefacedly, they even outfit the body as if they exercised it. Togged out in sneaks and sweats, they proclaim their affiliation, in spirit if not in the flesh, with the fitness generation. The prototype runners below offer a look at the characteristics and habits of that new U.S. animal, Homo exercens americanus...
...foreign reaction to South African border raids. We cannot be held to ransom by the U.S. or the international community when it comes to the protection of our security.

Governments have improved security in recent months, but the displays of armed force in some cases may have frightened off more tourists than terrorists...
BABY ON BOARD or CHILD ON BOARD, proclaim the yellow, diamond-shaped placards that adorn the rear windows of more and more cars across the U.S. Is this a parody of overprotective parenting? Not according to the thousands of folks who have been buying the signs for $2 to $3 each and consider them useful protection for their children. Made primarily by Safety First Inc. of Chestnut Hill, Mass., the signs are selling especially fast in traffic-choked metropolitan areas from San Francisco to Boston. But many drivers find the baby on board message annoying, and entrepreneurs with a sarcastic...
