...version of S&M has little to do with the real lives of those who practice SM (which is why sexologists who study sadomasochism have now also adopted the shorter abbreviation). S&M is Madonna in kinky outfits, Anne Rice chapters that run to the louche--even a recent Dannon ad featuring a woman in a French-maid uniform. Such S&M imagery has become so common that our astonishment at Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs of leather and pain 20 years ago now seems quaint.

It was thick and creamy, with a full, tangy--but not too sharp--flavor. As one tester put it: "perfect...
...selling yogurt product ever released and one of General Mills' biggest market entrants in its 72-year history. (The key: Go-Gurt's tube means no spoon is required.) The company has sold $340 million worth of Go-Gurt, according to an independent researcher, and General Mills has dethroned Dannon as the nation's leading yogurt maker...
