...GEORGE BUSH recklessly rushing back into the swing of things? He slowed his % tempo dramatically after he was found to have Graves' disease, but the President, 67, has picked up the pace again, in part to head off any perception that his illness has dogged him. His doctors have okayed a packed schedule, but some aides fear that Bush may be overdoing it a bit. A member of his medical team told a colleague that doctors are unable to "get the President to sit down." Bush, whose medication is still being fine-tuned, is also having trouble sleeping. Even...
...effort to achieve ideal thinness is not merely frustrating, new research suggests it is also unhealthy. Dieters who swing through cycles of weight loss and gain may actually be cutting their lives short, according to a report in last week's New England Journal of Medicine.

It lifts it beyond the reach of gags like columnist Ellen Goodman's characterization of it as "a PMS movie, plain and simple." More important, it lifts it beyond the effective range of ideologically oriented criticism. "The violence I liked, in a way," says Sarandon, "because...
...weight to be ignored. In March he could not get Secretary of State James Baker, who was visiting Moscow, to come to his office for a private meeting; Baker did not want to give Gorbachev's rival special treatment. Now the doors of the White House are about to swing open for Yeltsin. Next year who knows how much power he will exercise and what reception he might deserve? But it would be unwise to bet against the man's potential -- and a horseshoe-pitching session between Boris and George at Camp David...
