Safe Passage to Chicago Schools

A Chicago police officer watches schoolchildren Monday on the first day of classes.

Thousands of Chicago children whose schools were shuttered last spring arrived to new ones on the first day of school Monday under the watchful eye of police officers and newly hired safety guards, there to provide protection as the kids crossed unfamiliar streets many of them gang boundaries.

No incidents of trouble were reported, police said. While that didnt surprise parents and grand-parents, they said they were still concerned that the citys show of rst-day force called Safe Passage wont keep their children safe in the weeks and months to come.

U.N. Gets Hostile Welcome Snipers opened fire Monday and struck one of the vehicles in a U.N. convoy carrying a team investigating the alleged use of chemi-cal weapons outside of Damascus, a U.N. spokesman said. The Syrian government ac-cused rebel forces of firing at the team, while the opposition said a pro-government militia

was behind the attack. Activists said the inspectors eventually arrived in Mo-adamiyeh, one of the areas where last weeks attack allegedly occurred. (AP)

Secretary of State John Kerry declared Monday that there was undeniable evidence of a chemi-cal weapons attack in Syria, tough-ening the Obama administrations criticism of Bashar Assads regime and outlining a justication for pos-sible U.S. military action.

Kerry said last weeks attack was a moral obscenity that should shock the conscience of the world.

The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystand-ers by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable and despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured it is undeniable, said Kerry, the high-est-ranking U.S. ofcial to conrm the attack in the Damascus suburbs that activists say killed hundreds.

The U.S. assessment is based in

part on the number of reported vic-tims, the symptoms of those injured or killed, and witness accounts. Kerry said the administration had additional intelligence and would make its ndings public soon.

Assad has denied launching a chemical attack.

Ofcials said President Barack Obama has not decided how to respond to the use of deadly gases, a move the White House said last year would cross a red line. But the U.S., along with allies in Europe, appeared to be laying the groundwork for the most aggres-sive response since Syrias civil war began more than two years ago.

The most likely U.S. military action would be to launch Toma-hawk cruise missiles off U.S. war-ships in the Mediterranean. The Navy last week moved a fourth destroyer into the Mediterranean.

The international community was moving ahead even as a Unit-ed Nations team already on the ground in Syria collected evidence from last weeks attack.

But Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Western nations

calling for military action against Syria have no proof the regime is behind the alleged attack.

Lavrov says the countries call-ing for action have assumed the role of both investigators and the U.N. Security Council in prob-ing the incident. J U L I E PAC E A N D MATTHEW LEE (AP)

Islamist Groups Call for Truce in Egypt StandoffTwo former Egyptian militant groups have proposed a truce between the military and the ousted presidents Mus-lim Brotherhood group, in a move that highlights the extent to which Islamists have been weakened by a security crackdown. The leaders of the Gamaa Islamiya and Islamic Jihad movements said Monday they called for supporters of former President Mohammed Morsi to cease protests if the government halts its moves against them. Morsis allies have previously insisted on his reinstate-ment before talks, but Islamic Jihad leader Mohammed Abu Samra said the proposed truce had no red lines. (AP)

If true, this would suggest greater Russian involvement in Snowdens efforts to escape American justice than President Vladimir Putins government has acknowledged. The newspaper also reported that Cuba was instrumental in blocking Snowdens further travels. (AP)

Palestinian Deaths Hurt Talks

Palestinians mourned three deaths in a West Bank protest Monday morning.

Palestinian ofcials said they called off a planned round of peace talks Monday after Israeli soldiers killed three protesters during clash-es following an arrest raid in the West Bank.

But in comments that suggest-ed the meeting had gone ahead as planned, a U.S. ofcial in Washing-ton said no meetings have been canceled. The ofcial, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the media, refused to elaborate.

The violence, the deadliest inci-dent in the area in years, dealt a new blow to U.S.-led peace efforts,

Mondays clashes broke out when Israeli forces entered the Qalandia refugee camp, just out-side of Jerusalem, on an overnight arrest raid. Shai Hakimi, a spokes-man for the paramilitary border police, said hundreds of Palestin-ians poured into the streets and hurled rebombs, concrete blocks and rocks at ofcers.

The Israeli military said soldiers rushed to the scene to provide back-up and opened re after they felt they were in imminent danger.

His Last Defense: A Love Triangle

The corruption trial of Bo Xilai, seen here on Chinese television, ended Monday.

Chinas most sensational trial in decades ended Monday with dis-graced politician Bo Xilai hinting at a love triangle involving his wife and former right-hand man both key witnesses against him as he made last-ditch efforts to redeem his reputation.

The prosecution countered by saying Bo should be severely punished because he showed no remorse in the ve-day corruption trial in the eastern city of Jinan.

In testimony, Bo denounced both his wife, Gu Kailai, as crazy and his former police chief, Wang Lijun, as dishonest. He has sought to portray himself as an ofcial who worked too hard to scrutinize his familys affairs and who was sur-rounded by conniving, duplici-tous people.

himself, Bo told the court. He also said that Gu and Wang were as close as glue and lacquer and that they had a very special rela-tionship; I was frustrated by that.

Prosecutors said Monday that the trial proceedings have shown adequate proof of Bos guilt on charges of netting $4.3 million through bribes and embezzlement and abuse of power in interfering with a murder investigation. A date for the verdict has not been given. Bo faces a possible life sentence. GILLIAN WONG (AP)

Backstory The ruling Communist Party is using the trial against Bo Xilai to cap a major political scandal unleashed last year when his aide fled to a U.S. consulate bearing revelations that Bos wife had killed a British busi-nessman. That scandal led to Bos ouster as Politburo member and party leader of the southern mega-city of Chongqing, making him the most senior leader to fall from pow-er in years. (AP)

Officials Hopeful for a New New CarrolltonTwo projects plus the Purple Line could spark change for area

New Carrollton, Md.

Unlike many other suburban Wash-ington communities, especially those near Metro stations, New Carrollton in Prince Georges Coun-ty, Md., has yet to enjoy the kind of development that could make it a destination for people who dont live there.

City and county leaders say they hope that two planned mixed-development projects and the con-struction of a Purple Line light-rail

station in the area will spur the kind of growth needed to trans-form New Carrollton from what is mostly a transit hub into a vibrant urban center.

For its part, Maryland recent-ly approved the relocation of the Department of Housing and Com-munity Development, with its 380 employees, a project that is expected to jump-start develop-ment around the New Carrollton Metro station.

An earlier plan for the Mary-land housing agency fell apart last year, and one of the develop-ers said it was dif cult to nance an upscale development in an unproven commercial market such

as Prince Georges. Some county leaders and devel-

opers say poor early planning, eco-nomic downturns and plain bad luck have prevented New Carroll-ton from realizing its full potential.

But county and city of cials say they are optimistic this time that

two major projects in the pipeline will come to fruition.

County officials say the con-struction of the Maryland hous-ing department headquarters on an empty parcel near the Metro station will provide a model for developers considering transit-

The busiest transit point in Prince Georges County, New Car-rollton is also the site where Mary-land plans to build the eastern-most stop for the Purple Line. If funding is secured in time, con-struction could begin in 2015.LUZ LAZO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Riders complain that police unfairly harass them for activity they see as a harmless alternative to the drugs and violence often present in their neighborhoods.

This summer, the tension reached a new dimension as a group of riders led a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against D.C. police, alleging the use of excessive force in attempts to shut down the joy rides and con-scate machines. The suit alleges that police routinely violate the no-chase policy and go too far to get dirt bikes and ATVs off the streets.

3 Va. Police Fall Short on Lineups

More than 9 in 10 Virginia police agencies have failed to fully imple-ment guidelines for police lineups and other eyewitness interviewing techniques despite a 2005 state law and several wrongful convictions tied to misidentifications, accord-ing to a new study.

The finding marks a lack of progress in a state where ofcials have taken steps to cut down on police errors, while allowing police to apply changes themselves, said report author Brandon Garrett, a University of Virginia law professor.

The real scandal is how few departments have developed best practices after policymakers have bent over backwards to let police

do this themselves, Garrett said.Of 144 Virginia police depart-

ments and sheriff s offices that responded to a survey earlier this year, only 6 percent had fully applied a policy approved in 2011 by the Virginia Department of Crim-inal Justice Services.

More than one-fourth of the agencies relied on an outdated pol-icy from two decades ago. Forty-one agencies had no written poli-cy at all, apparently violating the 2005 state law, according to a paper

The Issue Eyewitness misidentifications were found in 13 of 16 wrongful convic-tions discovered through DNA testing in Virginia since 1989. Nationwide, such mistakes have played a role in more than 70 percent of DNA exonerations. So-cial scientists say that witness recollections are wrong about one-third of the time. Potentially suggestive practices, such as repeated showings of a sus-pect, can be reduced by simple measures such as conducting blind lineups, where the police officer running the procedure doesnt know which person is the suspect.

In Its SteadA run-down park near Dupont Circle is getting a much-needed makeover

Washington

Before The Goonies plays in Stead Park tonight, the crowd snacking on popcorn and coated in bug spray will get a preview of what the future holds for the sparse field beneath their blankets.

Members of the volunteer group Friends of Stead Park have been cir-culating at the annual summer out-door movie series to explain to the public how $1.6 million in city funds is about to transform the relatively unknown acre of green space tucked away between P and Q streets and 16th and 17th streets NW.

The money, approved by a D.C. Council committee in May after the volunteer group lobbied for the proj-ect, is part of the budget for the 2014 scal year, which begins in October. Renovations are expected to begin soon after, so by next year, visitors will be able to jog around a turf ath-

Coming in 2014Stead Park will be updated next year with a running track around the athletic field, benches and trees, a kids splash fountain, and a stage which could be used for concerts, story hours and fitness classes. Find out about the makeover at todays screening of The Goonies,which starts at 8:30 p.m. Learn more at friendsofsteadpark.org. (EXPRESS)

letic eld on a running track. There will be a splash fountain for kids to scamper in, benches and trees for folks looking to lounge, and a stage for community programming.

Itll be a big change for a place many people compare to a prison yard, with its high fence and barren landscaping, says Friends of Stead Park board member Kishan Putta.

Parents and kids in the Dupont neighborhood already f lock to the park, which was established60 years ago by a private bequest from Robert Stead for the perpet-ual use of the children of Washing-ton. (D.C.s Department of Parks and Recreation administers the park, with nancial support from a private trust established by Stead.) But families tend to stick to the play-ground, while the majority of the space often sits empty.

A permitted athletic eld isnt good for much more than kickball

At the screening of Meet the Parents in July, many attendees said it was their rst time in the field. It was only because of the movie that Michael Saleh, 30, nal-ly walked into Stead, despite having once lived on the corner. He says he needs a reason to visit a park. Im not the type that sits and ponders, the Logan Circle resident said.

The makeover may give him, and other Washingtonians, plen-ty to think about. Putta says Stead Park can serve as a model for how to make the most of every bit of green in the city. VICKY HALLETT (EXPRESS)

games and rugby matches. The parks future incarnation will serve many more people, Putta says. Not only does the new design accom-

modate a wider array of activities, it also includes better connections to the 17th Street NW commer-cial strip.

Only in Washington do fans argue over who should be the third-string quarterback. Now stop such nonsense. Its Rex Grossman. Some years, it might be inviting to try a prospect like Pat White, who likely ensured a place on somebodys roster after playing well against Buffalo on Saturday. But with second-year passers Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins already on the roster, the Redskins dont need any more young quarterbacks.

And with Grif n and Cousins both uncertain for the regular-season opener against Philadelphia on Sept. 9, Washington cant chance keeping White over Grossman.

Forget that White would cost less than Grossman. Owner Dan Snyder spends more than the difference on gas for his yacht.

Never mind that White, if hes released, could prep a com-petitor to face Grif n. Opposing defensive coordinators already

down against Buffalo for a 95.5 passer rating. Sure, Grossman almost threw an ugly pick, too, but thats all part of Good Rex/Bad Rex.

Coaches are always saying forget the last bad play. Focus on the next good play. Thats quint-essential Rex Grossman. His greatest asset is con dence to the point of recklessness. Hes a go big or go home passer. Grossman is always looking for a game-turning play.

Momentum means every-

spent the past six months watch-ing lm.

As for developing White as future trade bait: Isnt that Cous-ins role?

The bottom line is if Grif- n and Cousins arent ready for Philadelphia, which seems unlikely but is still a possibility, then who do you want to start? A 10-year veteran or a second-year player who hasnt been in the league since 2009?

It should be Grossman. Not that Grossman gets the

job by default. He earned it after completing 11 of 21 pass-es for 171 yards and one touch-

thing, he said. I dont under-stand it, but its in every sport. You start to have success, and it breeds more success, and thats de nitely true in football.

White doesnt have Gross-mans swagger. He knows the harshness of the NFL. After a standout career at West Virgin-ia, White was taken 44th over-all by the Miami Dolphins in 2009. He suffered a concussion in the nal game of his rook-ie season. Eight months later, Miami waived White. Then even the UFLs Virginia Destroy-ers released him in 2011. The Redskins offseason signing of White seemed more about hav-ing an option passer in training camp while Grif n recovered.

White ran well and showed enough arm strength to merit a second look. It will just have to come somewhere else.

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins says theres no doubt at all hell be healthy for Week 1 of the regular season.

Cousins returned to practice Monday, a week after spraining his right foot in the Redskins pre-season win over the Steelers.

His status is vital because he will be the starting quarterback if Robert Grif n III isnt cleared to play by the team doctor and coach Mike Shanahan ahead of the Sept. 9 opener against the Eagles.

Asked about the possibility of playing in Thursdays preseason nale, Cousins said: If someone could grant me a wish and tell me I wasnt going to get hurt, or I wasnt going to reaggravate it, then I would like to get out there. (AP)

and make them more readily available to casual users.

Were public access to the water, says Nicholas Verrochi, manager of the Ball Park Boat-house, which became the Districts rst kayak rental concession on the Anacostia when it opened July 20.

Several additional spots could offer access soon, says Cain, who has been preparing a map of the Anacostia Water Trail.

This will show you where you can access it and experience it, Cain says of his trail guide, set to be published any day now.

One place Cain would like to see another boat option is in the 11th Street Bridge Park, a D.C. Of ce of Planning project thats slated to be completed in 2017. The city is build-ing a new bridge between Capitol Hill and Anacostia Park, leaving the existing bridge behind.

So this is an opportunity to rethink how we reuse this archi-tecture, says Scott Kratz, direc-tor of the park project. The goal is to build a linear park on the old bridge that will incorporate active recreation, environmental edu-cation and the arts. Ideas being explored include a ropes course, rock-climbing walls and zip lines.

What will end up at the site depends on which design wins a competition this fall. But tness will play a key role, Kratz says, as the park has potential to stitch the com-munity together through activity.

Another potential tness oppor-tunity along the river is at RFK Sta-dium. A residents group is pushing to turn the sea of parking lots into a community sports facility peppered with playing elds and park space. The group, the Friends of Capitol Riverside Youth Sports Park, envi-sions a family-friendly amenity that would also reduce stormwater runoff problems caused by all the asphalt.

If the city successfully woos the Redskins to that site, though, their games would require that parking.

Lee Cain talks about the Anacostia River the way a rock star or rapper might hype a new album. Its about to blow up, he says. As the director of recreation for the Anacostia Watershed Society, a 24-year-old nonpro t organization devoted to restoring the other river that ows through the District, Cain is a bit biased. But that doesnt mean hes not right. A con uence of projects is set to make the banks and waters of the Anacostia some of the most attractive real estate in town for those looking to exercise. None of it would be possible without the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, a path thats beckoning cyclists, joggers and strollers to wind their way along both sides of the river.

The D.C. Department of Transpor-tation has opened 12 miles of the 20-mile project, and work is set to begin on the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens segment, a 4-mile stretch that will connect Benning Road to Marylands Bladensburg Trail by 2015. Thats likely to be the most scenic part of the route and the most significant: It will link up to more than 40 miles of trails in Maryland.

On the WaterAs folks are finally finding their way to the river, theyre learning that its pretty easy to get on it, too. The Anacostia Community Boat-house regularly hosts 1,000 ath-letes in clubs and teams. And now other docks are popping up to help meet the demand for water sports

Visions of the FutureThough some projects are still up in the air or works in progress, swing by the Yards Park on a Friday night this summer to glimpse the rivers future. Kids are splashing around in the fountains, couples are danc-ing to live music and dogs are walk-ing their owners all with a pictur-esque view of the Anacostia River.

A short stroll across the foot-bridge to Diamond Teague Park brings you to a free catch-and-release shing lesson with the Earth Conservation Corps and Anacos-tia Riverkeeper. Standing nearby is Brent Ferrell, whos overseeing the rainbow of kayaks available for rent at the Ball Park Boathouse.

Five years ago, I never would have wanted to come here, Ferrell says. Trash was everywhere. Now we have osprey nesting.

The birds are evidence that efforts to clean up the Anacostia are having an impact, says Kellie

Bolinder, executive director of Earth Conservation Corps. Establishing more recreational activities will speed this process along, she says.

We just need to get people down here, she says. You need to know something to love it.

And the Anacostia needs a lot of love. The Sustainable DC plan, a 20-year blueprint for greening the District, aims to make the river swimmable and shable by 2032. Because of continued pollution from stormwater runoff, that pristine vision is still pretty far off.

But every cleanup project brings it a little closer, which is part of the reason BicycleSPACE incorporated one on Kingman Island into a recent Saturday outing. Group rides frequent the Anacostia trail, says Erik Kugler, co-owner of the Mount Vernon Square bike shop.

When we opened three years ago, there were only two or three stretches of trail, Kugler says. We had to cross railroad tracks on foot and scramble up muddy embank-ments.

He cant wait for the trail to be completed, and neither can Cain, who is eager for more people to experience the beauty of the river.

At one of Cains organizations Paddle Nights this month at Blad-ensburg Waterfront Park, Lark Catoe-Emerson shepherded her two sons along the dock. The 30-year-old Ward 7 resident didnt have the nicest perception of the river. (Ive heard about dead bodies, she said.)

Her view shifted within minutes when the three set off in a canoe toward a blue heron shing on the opposite bank.

Another creature worth spot-ting on the river? Gabe Horchler, a 69-year-old Cheverly, Md., resident who commutes to the Library of Con-gress on the Anacostia by boat and bike. Theres plenty of room for more paddlers and cyclists, Horchler says.

At least for now. VICKY HALLETT (EXPRESS)

The event cycles among four locations Anacostia Community Boathouse, Gangplank Marina, Kenilworth Park and Bladensburg Park to give participants a chance to see several sections of the river. No experience is necessary to try canoeing or kayaking. Check the online schedule for details.

The newly opened Ball Park Boathouse (ballparkboat house.com) offers kayak rentals from Diamond Teague Park, next to Nationals Park. Its $15 per hour for a single kayak and $20 per hour for a double kayak. Hours this season are from 2 to 8 p.m. Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekends. Expect more programs, including tours and lessons, in 2014. V.H.

By Dr. Andrea Bonior

Has he explained why hes so antsy for you to go back to professional work? Is there a nancial, logistical or other reason why it must happen so soon? He may need to know more about how important it is for you to do this transition mindfully, and you may need to know more about why hes so averse to your remain-ing at home for a while.

Youve got to nd a way to quan-

tify each of your stances and work toward a compromise. So he wants you in an of ce on Day One, youre imagining Day 365, and then you go from there. Or he imagines youll work full time, youre think-ing quarter time, and you go from there. Once you agree, quantify how youll handle the job search, wheth-er its in rsums sent or time spent on LinkedIn versus Pinterest.

Ive been home with our twins since their birth, and theyre about to start kindergarten. My husband is pressuring me to go back to work full time, and Im not ready. I need time to figure out if I

want to return to the same field, and I dont want to have too many transitions in our household at once. But I might feel like Im slacking if Im home while theyre at school. CONFLICT BREWING

The Kids Are Ready. Am I?

Girlfriends Diets Hard to Swallow

My girlfriend is con-stantly going on all these fad diets. She is not overweight but is always doing some cleanse or

going gluten-free or trying vegan-ism or whatever. It is really tire-some. And it limits where we can eat out, which is something I enjoy doing. Is it fair for me to expect her to chill out and eat at Five Guys every once in a while? OVER IT, DC

I dont know. How often have you chilled out at vegan restaurants with her?

I think youve got to be honest with yourself about your motiva-tions here. Are you just missing your ground beef, or are you put off by what you secretly consider to be frivolous or ighty behavior? Either perspective is understand-able, but the latter might have seri-ous implications for your compati-bility, whereas the former might be a more realistic x. If this is abso-lutely, truly, solely about food no small thing, of course then it looks like separate-takeout-con-sumed-together will be the Rule of the Day, or perhaps a hot, steamy affair with mall food courts.

Finally, Id be remiss if I didnt suggest trying out new recipes together.

Theres no point in lacing up your sneakers for the 5K and 10K in Georgetown on Saturday because your shoes would get really wet.

Katelyn Sornik wanted some-thing she could stuff in her purse to eat on the go. The problem? The 29-year-old Georgetown resident cant eat most somethings.

I had food poisoning and it messed up my whole system, says Sornik, whose 2007 illness forced her to eliminate dairy, eggs, meat and gluten from her diet. I couldnt digest like I used to. A lot of my go-to foods were off the table.

The sudden shift inspired her to learn to cook and start a blog newkidontheveganblock.com about her culinary adventures. Thats when she started experi-menting to develop a snack bar she could actually stomach.

In search of protein, ber and a chewy texture, Sornik blended almond butter, coconut, rolled oats, chia seeds and ax meal with fruits and spices. She added in rice cereal because, she says, It breaks it apart, so its not such a brick of a bar.

Sorniks mostly organic cre-ations were raw originally, but those werent any good when she couldnt be near her fridge. Once she gured out a way to cook the bars at just

For people who dont eat gluten, dairy or eggs, Kate Bakes bars offer a quick bite

the right time and temperature so they wouldnt be hard as a rock, Sorniks friends got a taste and they persuaded her to start selling.

Thats how she started Kate Bakes (katebakesbars.com), which currently sells four avors of the 220-calorie, 2-ounce bars for $3 each: Banana Cinnamon Oat-meal, Chocolate Coffee, Sun ow-

er Raisin Butter and Cardamom Date. Her successful Kickstarter campaign that ended July 31 netted her more than $5,000 to expand the line to include more f lavors and add granola. Kate Bakes prod-ucts have also just arrived at her rst retailer, the Muse Cafe in the Corcoran Gallery (500 17th St. NW, toddgraysmuse.com).

The success is a sign to Sornik that shes not the only one looking for easily portable vegan and gluten-free options.

Its a convenient food thats made in a much more evolved way, she says. Expect more evo-lution ahead. VICKY HALLETT (EXPRESS)

Knack for Snacks

When Debbi Minkoff Miller, 49, talks about her Banana Love Muffins (bananalovemuffins.com), she usually doesnt say vegan or healthy. And the banana bread recipe she originally used wasnt either of those things. But as the Palisades residents diet evolved over the years, she deleted the dairy and eggs from the recipe and added in whole-wheat flour and applesauce. The result was a feel-good baked good, which she now makes for

the masses out of the D.C. food incubator Union Kitchen. Since the official launch May 20, the muffins have been picked up by local online distributors Washingtons Green Grocer and Relay Foods, as well as the Corcorans Muse Cafe. The secret to the moist texture, Miller reveals, is the amount of banana in each mini muffin ($8-$9 a dozen). Theyre free from animal products and fat and they taste good, she says. Who wouldnt want that? V.H.

Each Kate Bakes bar has 220 calories, 7.5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber.

Its a convenient food thats made in a much more evolved way. K AT E LY N S O R N I K , FOUNDER OF THE

Antioxidants 101Pop quiz: Whats an antioxidant? If youre not sure, youre not alone. According to a recent survey by MonaVie, 92 percent of Americans dont actually know what antioxidants are even though 75 percent try to eat foods rich in the mysterious molecules. Antioxidants are substances that protect your cells from free radicals, which are unstable molecules in the body that can cause DNA mutation. These are the three main types of antioxidants:

Carotenoids are common com-pounds found in produce that help reduce the damage from free radicals, fighting off certain types of cancers (including prostate, stom-ach and colon) and slowing down vi-sion loss in older adults. Carotenoids come in many forms that you might see on food labels, such as beta-car-

otene, lycopene and leutein. Where to find them: In red, orange and yel-low vegetables such as carrots and tomatoes, and dark-green leafy veg-etables such as spinach and broccoli.

Vitamin E helps to protect your body from cell damage that can lead to cancers, heart disease and vision degeneration. Where to find it: In vegetable oils, whole-grain products, seeds and nuts.

Vitamin C protects against infection and damage to cells. It also helps firm up your arteries and aids in the production of collagen, which keeps bones and muscles intact. Where to find it: In citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit; straw-berries, sweet peppers, tomatoes and broccoli. (REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION OF MENS HEALTH RODALE INC.)
