...DIED. JACEK KURON, 70, chain-smoking Polish academic who helped topple his country's communist regime; in Warsaw. As a co-founder of the Committee to Assist Workers (KOR), he helped bring Polish intellectuals into future President Lech Walesa's Solidarity movement. In 1989 he became Labor Minister in Poland's first democratic government (whose welfare payments were popularly dubbed "Kuron's Money"), but his 1995 bid for the presidency foundered.

...clear that Ruby Tuesday's diners want such stomach-turning information. But Beall, 55, the son of a nuclear engineer and himself a college dropout and restaurant-industry lifer, is giving it to them--and more. In November, Ruby Tuesday became the nation's largest casual-dining chain to start frying foods in canola oil, which is free of trans fats. The company posts nutrition tips on every table. After just a few months of testing, Beall this spring unveiled an expanded "smart eating" menu featuring fish, fresh vegetables and lean proteins such as turkey. He has ambitious plans...
