...have Marshall's billions of dollars to rearrange the world. Yet Albright is already off to prove that her outlook can shape the day-to-day business of U.S. diplomacy. During the trip she will begin next week to nine key powers in Europe and Asia, she plans to coax the world's major players into working "together to develop the international system as we're going into the 21st century." That's what another of her predecessors, George Shultz, once adroitly called "gardening"--the diplomacy of nurturing foreign relationships so they can blossom in the service of American interests...

Says Fritchman: "It's deplorable. Those things take all the sport out of hunting...
...Redux: tracking his dying brain cells (as was mentioned in the main article) and gradually regaining his lost weight, plus 10 lbs. (as usually happens to any dieter). As it stands, most readers will remember only that Ressner lost 5 lbs. in a week, and will be tempted to coax Redux from their own physicians. As a health writer, I was disturbed by this irresponsible and unscientific reporting. TIME has succeeded in feeding the seemingly insatiable appetite for get-slim-quick schemes that succeed only in fattening the bank accounts of diet "doctors" and diet-potion manufacturers as Americans...
