Show goes on and Koch joined!

Mike: Fat chance
Says Atkins widow won't get apology

"I was very, very hurt. And I was angry," (Ms.)Atkins said on ABC's "Good Morning America." Then, looking directly at the camera, she said, "And, mayor, you did it. And I do demand an apology for that because you have hurt thousands of people, millions of people who believed in Dr. Atkins' work ... shame on you."

"Nobody is trying to hurt Mrs. Atkins or Dr. Atkins," Bloomberg said in an interview to air tomorrow on "Eyewitness News Up Close with Diana Williams." ... "I think my answer is lighten up a little bit and you should watch what you eat," he said.

Asked about the brouhaha, ex-Mayor Ed Koch first noted that "the Atkins Diet does work." ..."The second thing is people who love other people don't want them to be referred to as fat," Koch said. "The next time you refer to a person you think is large, call 'em big-boned."
