Better yet, write Peck and his colleagues in the New England Journal of Medicine, side effects were minimal and temporary: some chapped lips, skin dryness, minor nosebleeds and slight irritation of the eyes...
...Isserlyn Creme jar lists 20 ingredients, most of them common chemicals and none of them particularly costly. Six of these ingredients-decyl oleate, lanolin oil, propylene glycol, isostearic acid, acetylated lanolin alcohol and ceteareth-5-are moisturizers and emollients.

Superstardom, its problems, liasons with Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon, marriage, life of the West Coast, building a house on Martha's Vineyard, even a couple albums. It may be the flat Appalachian twang, or the dryness of his wit, but I think James Taylor sings his life better than Neil Young sings his. What it really is, is that he approaches, but never reaches, the bounds of insipidity...
