Without truckling, DeVito made the loathable lovable. "It was a feast for me," the actor recalls, "working with brilliant writers who put 'bons mots' (rhymes with Don Knotts) in my mouth. We were like a family; we never fought -- it was sickening...

Anne Baxter, 62, throaty-voiced actress whose stage and screen career, from her 1936 Broadway debut in Seen but Not Heard to her current role as TV's Hotel owner, embraced heartland innocence and brittle sophistication; after a stroke; in New York City.

But RFLPs can only approximate the gene's position; biologists must progressively snip away the intervening fragments before they can fish out the gene and begin manipulating it. At least one marker, however, may be immediately useful. John Baxter of California Biotechnology, the firm where the heart-disease markers were found, believes the RFLP could help in alerting people to their tendency in time to change their behavior. Warns Baxter: "If you have this marker, it's equivalent to having blood pressure...
...Young fathers can be so busy--so dumb," writes Newspaperman and National % Public Radio Personality Gordon Baxter. He should know; he was one. But that was long ago, and in this peppery account of his relationship with new Daughter Jenny, born when Baxter was 54 and already a grandfather by his "first litter," the Texan turns the tables. Although a reluctant father- to-be ("Lamaze, LaLeche . . . LeHusband"), the good ole boy becomes a good, if old, dad. Baxter stays home to write in a woodsy cabin with his second wife Diane, nearly 20 years his junior, and he and Jenny...
