Never on the doorjamb, but sometimes in books. Like his running character, Berger has learned to cut down on adjectives and take it easy on the sauce. When Reinhart returns in his 70s, he may actually be underweight-in everything but entertainment value and insights. -By J.D. Reed...
...healthier. Studying data collected on 5,209 men and women during a 24-year study, National Institutes of Health Epidemiologist Paul Sorlie and his colleagues confirmed that the obese had higher death rates than those of average weight, but they were surprised by similar high mortality rates for the underweight. The finding could not be explained by such factors as the amount of smoking or undiagnosed illness. These results, Sorlie writes in the Journal of the American Medical Association, "raise questions as to the health benefits from weight reduction in persons of average or near average weight...
...doll arm, caused by German bullets in World War I, the elder Mowat is eager to get back into his army unit, the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment. Baby-faced Farley is eventually commissioned in the "Hasty Pees" after the air force rejects him for being four pounds underweight.

He says that he asked to be red-shirted (sit out the games but attend practices) for that season. Kush scheduled him to play. Rutledge was averaging a poor 34.6 yds. per kick, and in last year's match with Washington he made a particularly bad punt...
...RESULT of such problems has been an alarming increase in the incidence of disease and malnutrition among the very young. Babies fed with formula under inappropriate conditions are caught in a vicious, ultimately debilitating cycle--underweight babies are prone to infections causing diarrhea, and babies with diarrhea extract fewer nutrients from the food they eat, aggravating the malnutrition. Bottle formulas lack the immunilogical benefits of breast feeding, which are especially key in unsanitary conditions. Scientists believe that immunity probably comes from the initial dose of antibodies in the colostrum (the yellowish fluid that comes from the mother's breast...
