...popularity is based partly on the fact that his idiosyncrasies strike a chord in his nation's gastronomic soul. Rare is the U.S. diet doctor who would recommend a white bean, duck and sausage stew, but Montignac declares that "cassoulet is the noblest of dishes." 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.

Part funky fashion show, part techno music dance-a-thon, part politically correct flea market, raves are loopy high-tech love-ins laced with a playful sense of the absurd (and with a dollop of illicit drugs...
...transformed this once depressed South Atlantic outpost into the wealthiest enclave in the hemisphere. Last week former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher received a hero's welcome as she touched down in the Falklands to celebrate the anniversary of the military victory. The warm welcome no doubt included a dollop of gratitude for the current economic state of affairs. Today the 2,050 people who live on the archipelago's 30 inhabitable islands boast a per capita income of $30,000, as compared with the U.S. per capita rate of $22,000. If the upside has meant...
