...third of American men between the ages of 45 and 64 are in the high-risk category. Because of differences in hormones, premenopausal women run a low risk of developing heart disease. In later years, though, this advantage is lost, and women between 55 and 64 have significantly higher total cholesterol levels than men the same age. The dangers of high readings are evident: the chance of a heart attack has been found to double with every 50 mg/dl increase in blood cholesterol once the level goes over...
...picture is gradually improving, however. In 1986 the percentage of Americans whose blood cholesterol had been checked rose to 46%, from 35% three years earlier. Last May a cholesterol-screening program brought 400,000 people into more than 400 hospitals around the country. Total cholesterol is now commonly measured by portable testing machines, which produce results in minutes...
...high levels of LDL and low levels of HDL. Daniel has suffered a heart attack, and both brothers have had bypass surgery. Now the Brunos are on low-saturated-fat diets and are taking lovastatin. In addition, Michael is taking gemfibrozil. Since the brothers started their programs, Michael's total cholesterol has fallen from 224 to 184, and Daniel's from 325 to 201. Both brothers' HDL levels have gone up sharply. "I can't imagine that I used to sit down to a 1 1/2-lb. T-bone steak," Michael says. "Today that greasy, fatty taste doesn't appeal...
According to Nussbaum, Steinberg, 47, assumed such total control of her life that she could not eat or leave their Greenwich Village apartment without his permission. One night last November, she said, he ordered her and Lisa to eat hot pepper, forcing them to drink glass after glass of tap water. A bit later, while Nussbaum was in the bathroom, Steinberg came in bearing in his arms the bruised and unconscious girl. When Nussbaum asked what had happened, she testified, Steinberg replied, "What's the difference what happened? This is your child. Hasn't this gone far enough?" He then...
...Summer Olympics provided something less than the thrill of victory. Critics complained that the coverage was uninspired, viewers groused about commercial overload, and ratings were a major disappointment. The prime- time audience averaged 16.9% of total households (compared with 23.2% for the 1984 Los Angeles Games), falling far short of projections and virtually wiping out the network's expected profits. So it came as a surprise last week when NBC took an Olympic high dive once again, spending a record $401 million for the TV rights to the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona...
