TOUR DE FRANCE —the world's most famous cycling race — began in 1903 as an effort to boost circulation for a sports newspaper. The race became an instant success despite its grueling nature. The Tour hasevolved overthe decades into a setofstagesshorterthan the early ones,butm ore numerous, so the race is of greater overall length. Some things are still fmuliw, for better or worse: how coveted the yellow jersey is, and how tempted some riders are to cut corners in the rulebook. This year's riders set off Saturday — see today's preview, with Saturday TV times, on Sports, Page Cl.

Bend residents have two weeks left to weigh in on the future of Mirror Pond in an online questionnaire. The man overseeing the process, Mirror Pond project manager Jim Figurski, said this week he is concerned that too few people are filling out the questionnaire. Silt has been accumulating in the pond since it was last dredged in 1984, and mudflats are building up in this section of the Deschutes River. "The more (participants), the more comfortabledecision-makers will be using whatever that information from the questionnaire tells them," Figurski said. "If we have a Itmtted sample, lt would

ANALYSIS ton's most unpredictable institution. Or at least that's how it must appear. One day's decision left essentially untouched the court's controversial permission to let race play some role in college admissions. It was followed the next day by a decision overruling Congress and striking down the heart of the Voting Rights Act, which has protected minority voters for nearly half a century. And we haven't even gotten to gay rights. SeeCourt/A5

There may be an economic cure for the nation's obesity: Hike the price of food. Raising the price of a calorie for home consumption by 10 percent may lower the percentage of body fat in youths about 8 or 9 percent, according to new research from the National Bureau of Economic Research. As the nation confronts an epidemic of flab, many have pointed a finger at low food prices as a cause, leading to proposals for taxes on sugary drinks, fast-food and junk food, as well as reductions in farm subsidies. "An increase in the price of acalorie regardless ofits source would improve (the situation)," according to the
working paper by Michael Grossman, Erdal Tekin and Roy Wada. The new research, which focused on youths, reinforces the idea that prices affect obesity and that raising fast-food prices would help, while pushing up the prices of healthy foods, such as fruit and vegetables, may of course hurt.
