The Golden Ratio and Proportions of Beauty

It turns out I was right. There is an letter on page 1009 (volume 114, number 4) of PRS about the number Phi (1.618) and its relation to various ratios expressed in the human body. The author's point was that we should keep those ratios in mind to help guide the decision making process. There are 3 references listed, mostly in French and Greek. I will have to search pubmed to see if there are any other references when I get some spare time. It is an interesting concept to say the least.
