...McKinney hardly cuts the blocky figure of a woman skier. Actually, the entire women's team appears less robust than its regimen. At various boot camps from Hawaii to New Zealand, karate and pro football have been mixed into the exercises (Green Bay Packer Del Rodgers was a drill instructor). With the exception of three-time Olympian Cindy Nelson, a bronze-medal winner in 1976, they are extraordinarily fit. Nelson crashed a gate at Val d'Isere, France, last month and tore the ligaments in a knee. She returned to the U.S. immediately and has been working furiously...
Prison life meant bitterly cold winters, the loss of all written contact with relatives and friends, the abolition of privacy in the cramped sleeping quarters, and the constant threat of violence from both jailers and the jailed. This regimen did not break Dostoevsky; it inspired him to see himself and those around him in a strange new light. He had been the dupe of a foreign ideology, which had seduced him toward treason; the other convicts, beneath their horrid exteriors, manifested a beatific, instinctively Christian and compassionate Slavic soul.

Instead of being told they must never eat ice cream or alter their meal times, they can be more flexible and occasionally enjoy forbidden foods, as long as they adjust their insulin accordingly. Says Bob: "I now have the tools...
...says, "honored" by this retrospective, which is his symbolic coronation as the monarch of fashion, but it comes at a bad time. Saint Laurent is trying to recover from a kind of breakdown. He sees a therapist in Paris five times a week and takes a regimen of "calmant" pills, which he unwisely chases with alcohol on occasion. He is now so detached that he regards solitude as "a friend." The burden of putting on four extravaganzas a year-two for haute couture, two for Rive Gauche-for a quarter of a century would seem to justify a sabbatical...
