...replacing about 540 daily calories of fat. Subjects were unable to detect any difference in the taste of the food, and did not attempt to compensate for lost calories by snacking more. They lost an average of 8 Ibs. during their time on the SPE diet, and, as a bonus, their serum cholesterol levels dropped 10%. How soon will SPE be on your grocer's shelf? Not for a long time, if ever. Though no serious side effects were reported, SPE is "potent stuff," says Dr. Charles Glueck, who headed the study. The compound has been classified...

Beginning this year, Social Security laws offer a 3% increase in eventual retirement benefits for each year that workers stay on the job past their 65th birthday; some experts suggest raising that bonus to 8% or 10%. House Majority Leader James Wright, another Texas Democrat, talks of substituting income tax credits for each year of continued employment past...
