...u.C.L.A. researchers have reported that herpes viruses can live on towels for up to 72 hr. and on toilet seats for at least four. In one test, a seat used by a woman with thigh lesions showed live herpes viruses 90 min. later. But most doctors down-play the U.C.L.A. study. Dr. Harold Kessler of Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's, in Chicago, says herpetics should use their own towels, though the chances of passing on the infection via a towel are only about 1%. The virus dies so fast on a toilet seat, he says, that the risk of infection...

One middle-aged man, who, when he's not feeling Benson's thigh and cooing "fabulous" in the most stereotypical fashion, flirtatiously peers through ferns, squealing "Peekaboo!" or "hiii boys...
...Gertsch, 38, felt what he thought was a cramp starting after seven miles. But he was determined to finish, and so he pounded on for 19 more miles before collapsing at the finish line. Doctors, who later set his right femur with a steel rod, theorized that his powerful thigh muscle had acted as a splint until he finally relaxed at race...
