...gets to fire off only one big shot at the big shots every year, and to make sure that attention is paid, Mr. Blackwell really piles on the bile. This year the best he could do was top his Worst Dressed List with Princess Stephanie of Monaco. Referring to her chopped hair and flair for less than feminine attire, Blackwell, whose little-used first name is Richard, bitingly declared, "Her royal unisex wardrobe entitles her to use either bathroom." Then the clawing got cloying. No. 2 on the list was Joan Collins ("One more pushup and she'll have three...
Although cholesterol is popularly regarded as an enemy, the body needs it to manufacture new cell membranes, steroid hormones and bile acids. Made primarily in the liver and also obtained through food, cholesterol travels through the bloodstream in round bundles of fat and protein called lipoproteins. Like Venus's-flytraps, vacant LDL receptors snare the passing packets. The lipoproteins are rapidly broken down in the cell, and the cholesterol is freed for use, while the receptor returns to the membrane, ready for prey...

At one of the Humana press conferences last week, a young woman named Theresa Garrison sat wearing a T shirt that said HELP US HELP AMIE LIVE.

"Like everyone else I was very proud of these guys," he said softly, and by then the pipes were calling Evander Holyfield...
When exhaustion hits, her spunk can turn to bile. At the end of a rugged four-day campaign swing, she gave an ungenerous press conference. "Where have you been?" she snapped to a not-too-acute questioner, and said to another, "I answered that before-wasn't I loud enough?" Republicans contend that displays of her clackety-clack Queens, N.Y., style put off vast numbers of voters. Says one White House aide of Ferraro: "She comes across as too abrasive." Richard Wirthlin, the President's pollster, suggests her audiences are swollen by the converted and the merely curious...
