...mogul P. DIDDY may finally soak some sweat into that tracksuit when he runs the New York City Marathon next month to raise money for children's charities. Admitting he's not well prepared for the event (he's on a strict regimen of only one party a week), he says, "If I have to crawl, I'm gonna finish the race." Oddly, his fitness plan includes a low-carb, high-protein diet, precisely the opposite of what most pasta-scarfing distance runners eat. But then, they don't have a Bentley for a sag wagon...

Under the old regimen, utilities that wanted to update their plants were required to install extensive pollution controls. The new rules will allow them to upgrade without putting in such equipment...

Atkins controverted conventional dietary wisdom by asserting that eating fatty foods like bacon wasn't what caused weight gain. The real culprit, he said, was carbohydrates--the sugar and starch that are especially abundant in junk food. An estimated 25 million dieters have tried to follow his edict that if deprived of carbs as a source of energy, the body will burn...
