Mindful of anything that may look like the heavy hand of a nanny state at work, George W. Bush's Administration has focused its anti-obesity efforts primarily on public education. Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson wore a pedometer to tout his department's Small Step initiative. But pressure for bigger strides is building. Says Harkin: "This is not just a personal problem. It's a public-health problem." He wants the Agriculture Department to regulate all food--not just meals--being served in schools. The rules now are set at the state and local levels, with...
...unholy is the thrill when you sense that the circles of hell have, in the end, been transformed into the Olympic rings? For all the evocations of international camaraderie, the Olympics are a lot about national pride. And so, beyond Dante, Italy trotted out its stars to tout its culture: Giorgio Armani designing costumes; Sophia Loren carrying the Olympic flag; Eva Herzigova, a Czech-born resident of Torino, starring as Botticelli's Venus on a half-shell and Luciano Pavarotti singing Puccini's Nessun Dorma.

...best-ever Olympic luge team shoots from the starting block. Now supine on the sled, they hit speeds of 130 km/h on the icy track, Grimmette atop Martin the whole way down. The Winter Olympics showcase some of the oddest-looking pairs in sports. Athletes endlessly tout the importance of chemistry, that unseen connection between teammates that boosts performance. Well, there's nothing unseen about the connections between the luge doubles. Or bobsledders: two- or four-person teams bunched together in a runaway rocket, heads buried in one another's backs as if expecting something terrible. Or the pairs figure...
...Clinics like the Hospital Santa Monica tout cures for all types of cancers, attracting many U.S. patients diagnosed with what they believe is a death sentence. How can patients be sure the money they?re often asked to pay up front will ensure a cure? No guarantees are given. ?It is harder today more than ever for patients to find credible information because none exists,? says medical writer Peter Chowka, who has chronicled cancer treatments in the U.S. and the alternative medical facilities of Mexico. ?In 1991 legislation was passed to set up an office within the National Institutes...
