With the rank of lieutenant colonel, Cooper has now retired from the Air Force and is setting up an Institute for Aerobics Research in a suburb of Dallas. On an 8½-acre site, he will have half-mile and one-mile tracks and an Olympic-size swimming pool. Not yet ready to take patients, he is already swamped with applicants, many of them middle-aged men worried by the deadly statistics of heart-artery disease and premature deaths in the U.S. "I'm practicing preventive medicine," Cooper says.

Staking out the building, they watched scores of pretty young women and well-dressed men pass in and out. The women were so attractive that, in the words of one neighbor, "they would give a blind man back his sight."
