Health may not be a pursuit limited to princesses, but abandoning the long lines at the Malkin Athletic Center (MAC) for a personal trainer and a whirlpool is. The closest and most expensive option is Wellbridge, which has a steam room, cable TV and swimming pool. Angela E. Kim ’03 swears by kickboxing on Saturdays with Katy, as well as the Performance in Training class. “It’s like boot camp, and it makes me want to vomit when I’m done,” she reports happily.

...corporate boss can tell you, headquarters tends to get all the bells and whistles. In kitchen appliances, overkill isn't over. The trend toward commercial stoves and refrigerators, such as those by Viking and Wolf and Sub-Zero, has been reinforced by the shift of such traditional makers as Whirlpool, Maytag, GE and Amana into professional-quality gear and by a changed appearance in the everyday American kitchen.

But he was also fearless: once leaping into a whirlpool on the River Tisza in his flowing black caftan to rescue a drowning child. On another occasion, when a local bailiff came to extract a bribe and ended up trying to run off with a tefillin, a sacred phylactery, Abraham attacked him mercilessly. The old man backed off only when...
...hand your hands--or feet--over to a nail salon, the last thing you expect is to end up looking and feeling worse. Yet last year more than 100 customers of a California salon wound up with large, painful scarring boils after soaking their legs in the salon's whirlpool bath. Now researchers have traced the outbreak to bacteria that grew behind a water vent and lodged in tiny cuts in the women's skin. Such problems are not common, but you can minimize your risk by not shaving your legs right before a pedicure...
