...Beneath the less-than-shocking survey results, however, there is real news here: thanks to an effort launched by the AMA and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, some colleges are radically rethinking their approach to alcohol control. The University of Colorado at Boulder (ranked fifth on Princeton Review?s list of top party schools) has banned beer sales in its football stadium. Florida State University (ranked fourth) has banned alcohol advertising on campus and notifies parents when their children break campus alcohol policy.

"We don't feel alone," he said. "Because you are with us." His message resonated with many in the group. "I will go back to my hometown and tell people about your bravery and your warm hearts," said Sarah Scharbach, 47, a professor at Massachusetts' Worcester State...
...yoga instructor named Anne Kals started selling Earth Shoes: the heels were lower than the toes to simulate the effect of walking on sand. (It wasn't until the hallucinogens wore off that hippies remembered the arduousness of walking on a beach.) Next came Dr. Scholl's exercise sandals, wood-soled slip-ons that promised to tone calf muscles. Gravity boots became the yuppie home-fitness system de rigueur after Richard Gere dangled from an exercise bar in American Gigolo. In the late '80s teenagers trying to make the basketball team were bounding to school in Strength Shoes guaranteed...
