...Lamar Alexander, the former establishmentarian and Cabinet official, using little more than a smile and a red flannel shirt. You too can be a New You. All it takes is a change of costume, some prepackaged instant microwavable prejudices and a fresh zip code. Stir in a dollop of self-righteousness, bake for a day or less, and serve promptly...
Pitts was a purveyor of subtlety. He got Richard Nixon to forgo the dollop of "greasy kid stuff," giving him a more natural appearance. Jerry Ford was still trying to comb a few wispy strands of hair over his nearly bald pate when Milt got his clippers on him. He shortened the top and lengthened the sides, playing to nature's own honest impulses...
...simple test in which a dollop of blood is drawn from a baby's tiny heel and taken to a lab for analysis. The result could provide reassurance -- or a death sentence. In most states all newborns are screened to see if they have antibodies to HIV, the virus that causes aids.

A dollop of creme fraiche in one's soup does no harm, he argues. No wonder such epicureans as fashion designer Christian Lacroix and chef Bernard Loiseau have embraced the Montignac method. "You are never hungry," says restaurateur Paul Bocuse, who has lost 40 lbs. a la Montignac...
...Keith A. Walker and Corey Blechman and directed by Simon Wincer (TV's Lonesome Dove), has a no-fault recipe for success. Start with Jurassic Park's fondness for huge, dangerous, pet-worthy creatures and its cunning use of special effects to make the fauna realistic. Add a dollop of Hollywood eco-mania, portraying the park owner as a predatory capitalist who would kill Willy for the insurance money. And wrap this around the summer's favorite icon: the fatherless boy who teaches everyone else -- surrogate parents, adult friends and a nearby cetacean -- how to be human. The movie hits...
