Highly nutritious foods are often low in cost. Among them are bananas, carrots, potatoes, whole­-wheat flour, and dried beans—the sort of high fiber foods that nutritionists now recommend. They also tend to come with minimal packaging—an environmental plus. - Wellness Made Easy: 365 Tips for Better Health , by  the University of California, Berkeley  Wellness Letter A s with the taking of a daily cold swim, cold shower or cold bath - or the eating of hot peppers - under which early resistance finds itself vanquished by a habituated second-wind relish of the wholesome fruits of disciplined hardihood, an adherence while at the grocer's over each 30-day cycle to a cost ceiling - $100, say - can apply a whetstone to the blades of the soul all its own. In a time when it is not at all uncommon for urban humans to spend $5 or more each weekday upon the "food" under the black (they're only gold-plated) arches, or at...

S ometimes when you try to explain the productivity gains from increased investment per worker, you're so overcome by the beauty of Austrian-school capital theory that you lose sight of considerations that, hard as it is for us to imagine, are in the redemptive contemplation far more sublime still - like remedial partisan re-branding: During a discussion about ongoing challenges to the economy Thursday,  Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young referred to Hispanic workers as "wetbacks,"  an ethnic slur used to describe migrant workers. He has since apologized. “My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes,” Young  told Alaska public radio station KRBD . “It takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It’s all done by machine.” The term "wetback" is a pejorative term that has been used to describe workers from Latin American countries who swim across the Rio Grande to reach the United States.

The Mens' Bathing Pond at Hampstead Heath , London A cold shower every morning, if you are physically fitted for it, is an excellent will exercise, which more than pays for itself in its effects upon your health. - Henry Hazlitt,  The Way to Will-Power (1922) R upert Shortt reviews Pondlife: A Swimmer's Journal by the English critic/essayist/novelist/poet Al Alvarez  (1929-): "Among the other passions that define him is cold-water swimming, chiefly on Hampstead Heath. He has taken the plunge several times a week in all weathers for decades, unless ill or away. Pondlife: A swimmer’s journal is a paean to what the author knows as one of life’s three great Ss – the others are sex and sleep.

I n 1977-1978, aged 15-16, fresh from weekly mail-order installments of the Charles Atlas Course (with DYNAMIC TENSION)  I took out a three-year subscription to Weider's monthly  Muscle Builder  magazine, read  Pumping Iron  and saw the movie based on it, and with a friend took the bus three hours north from Cincinnati to Columbus to attend the 1977 edition of the Weider-sponsored IFBB Mr. Olympia contest, where among a thrusting crowd I managed to get my copy of  Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder  signed by the contest's legendary six-time (1970-1975) winner. We even pre-ordered tickets for the 1978 contest, though a family move to Conne...

Montaigreene, or, You Essai Today T homas Karshan in the TLS for March 22, 2013, reviewing Carl H. Klaus and Ned Stuckey-French, editors, Essayists on the Essay: Montaigne to Our Time , and Randi Salomon, Virginia Woolf's Essayism : Woolf's own essays, with their clouds of subjectivity, would seem resolutely Montaignean, not Baconian. She writes on classic Montaignean subjects such as sickness, wandering, the blind hunger of Empire, the will-o'-the-wisp of the self; she insists that the "proper use" of the essay is "to express one's personal peculiarities"; and in "Modern Essays" she reports enthusiastically on the rebirth, with Max Beerbohm, of the essayistic "I", lost since the glory days of Lamb and Hunt. But it is noticeable how much more comfortable she is writing "we" or "one" than "I", and sheltering her thoughts under those more impersonal pronouns' broader canopies. Even her essay ...
