...heightened and almost anal-retentive detail of earlier etchings soon expands to include looser, more casually rendered portraits (such as the mid-eighteenth century "Preste de la Loy") and quick political caricatures (such as those of eighteenth-century Britain). The medium is particularly effective on the larger scale for which this specific printmaking process allows. In Giovanni Piranesi's eighteenth-century "Arch of Ianus Quadrifons," the sheer size and weight of the severe values combine with intense detail, resulting in a piece of surprising presence...
...fake fat that took Procter & Gamble 25 years and $200 million to develop, finally won FDA approval. Critics still contend that the zero-calorie, zero-cholesterol fat impostor, which passes through the body without being digested, causes unwanted side effects--among them diarrhea, cramps and, in rare cases, anal leakage. It can also rob the body of nutrients. Olestra products will carry a warning label...

We have been standing around, five slightly nervous Time journalists who have volunteered to taste potato chips cooked in olestra. Because the stuff has not been approved by the FDA, each of us has signed a Procter & Gamble "informed consent" release, which we notice with some discomfort bears the 800 number of a doctor to call in case of emergency. This fellow, whose name is Sweeney, will chopper in with a medevac team if something goes wrong. Or so we assume...
