The women's movement has made it acceptable for women to think of their bodies as strong, sweat-producing machines. World-class swimmers and distance runners, who lowered records by training to exhaustion, talked of pain barriers that could be broken through to achieve new levels of performance...
Lavish Gym. Class crackles in the clean, conditioned air at Dr. Kenneth Cooper's $2 million Aerobics Center, a lavishly renovated antebellum mansion in north Dallas.

Press conferences denouncing the FBI have given way to post-game interviews in the warm glow of a victorious team's dressing room. The strict vegetarian diet has been modified to include a Pacific salmon now and then. Walton has hardly become a conservative paragon of the Establishment; he still chomps bean sprouts and supports radical causes. But this year, for the first time in his N.B.A. career...
