These commitments, however, are less likely to be monitored by coaches and instructors than by the aestheticians, masseurs and nutritionists at the growing number of day spas and resorts that cater to young people. "Kids are under such stress now at school with life the way it is," says Marla Rohwer of Highland, N.Y., who recently accompanied her daughter Sarah, 15, to a massage at SPAhhhT, a facility for those 17 and younger at the Hyatt Regency Hill...

There were nearly $91,000 missing on the hands of a blonde social butterfly—who had famously kissed Anthony Hopkins before dozens of cameras—who used the money to throw parties and go to spas, and her partner in crime was a DVD-hoarding, alleged drug user. Factor in an illustrious drag theater group, a parade of Hollywood celebrities, and a year of corporate misdoing, all at Harvard, and you had yourself a story.
