...unnecessary refrigeration of America has become a chronic disease. It seems to have gotten worse over the past few years, with thermostats routinely set at 68deg.F, and sometimes even 65 deg., in the (far too many) hotel rooms I've suffered on the campaign trail. "Americans seem to keep their houses cooler in summer than they do in the winter," muses Edward Parson, an environmental expert at the University of Michigan Law School. But it's hard to know for sure, since there are no comprehensive studies that measure air-conditioning trend lines...
...vaccines," says Ginny DeLeo, a New York science teacher whose son Evan, born in 1993, was developing normally until he was a year old. The day the boy received his fourth dose of Hib vaccine, DeLeo had to rush him to the hospital with tremors and a 104 deg F (40 deg C) fever, which later led to seizures.

The producer has blamed everyone but himself for DEG's woes, a version that doesn't play well with Hollywood insiders. "Dino was clearly, unequivocably, unquestionably responsible for what happened to this company," says Stephen Greenwald, DEG's former chairman. "His attempts to evade that responsibility...
...Laurentiis now lives the life of a much younger mogul. This week he plans to marry his girlfriend, now 35 and pregnant with their second child. Despite DEG's bankruptcy, the couple dwells in a Beverly Hills mansion complete with household staff and, at last count, two Rolls-Royces. And De Laurentiis is pursuing his new films with youthful ebullience. "The world hasn't seen the end of Dino," says MCA president Sidney Sheinberg.
