Since most users agree that the stuff is vile-tasting ("It's glubby," said a Dallas dieter, "absolutely nauseating"), many mix it with gin, rum or bourbon. Some freeze it and eat it like sherbet. A Washington lovelorn columnist advised the wife of an alcoholic to spike her husband's gin with Metrecal. One happy user of a similar supplement is Dallas' Specialty Store (Nieman-Marcus) Tycoon Stanley Marcus. "I've lost 15 pounds," says he, "several times." Marcus' specialty is "a kind of Spanish gazpacho soup." He mixes the dieting powder with cucumbers, tomato...
Professional people are especially harpsichord-prone. Doctors, psychiatrists, teachers and ministers are among the most active amateurs in the New York area. In New Orleans, Attorney Thomas B. Lemann finds himself hard put to explain his own harpsichordia ("Why do you prefer bourbon to Scotch?"), but admits that "there is a simplicity about it" that appeals strongly to his children, who are being raised without any knowledge of the upstart piano.

Shane, who only half-jokingly describes himself as "an alcoholic at 15," had been spending his days counting sand at Waikiki Beach and his nights developing the bourbon elements in what, is now called his "whisky voice...
...last battle and is dying, has the face of Hayes himself. The house has a figure 6-shaped swimming pool half inside the living room, lights that go on and off at the command of Hayes's voice, and such homey essentials as faucets that dispense Scotch, bourbon and champagne. There is also a bomb shelter stocked with a three-week supply of food, water and oxygen. For further protection, Hayes installed a heavy green living-room rug that climbs up a glass wall at the press of a button. Says he: "At Hiroshima and Nagasaki, windows blew...
