...this reason, many doctors eschew eccentric diets and insist that their patients learn instead to eat differently for the rest of their lives. Dr. Robert Atkins, a modishly dressed Manhattan physician who operates out of a plush East Side office, believes that overweight is the result of the body's inability to metabolize carbohydrates properly. He allows his patients such dietary don'ts as mayonnaise, heavy cream, butter, steaks and lobster, but limits them to a maximum of 40 grams of carbohydrates daily. Dr. Charles Roland of the Mayo Clinic says that "despite Atkins' sweeping generalizations...
...virtually no concessions to accepted Russian dance taste, which has been shaped by the 19th century-oriented Bolshoi and Kirov companies. Indeed, he offered some of the company's most abstract works, like his Violin Concerto (set to Stravinsky) and Jerome Robbins' Goldberg Variations (Bach), dances that eschew decor, spectacle and story line in favor of balanced and unbalanced compositions that are mod, sexy and athletic.

When McGovern announced his candidacy early last year, the New Democrat hailed the news as "a flash of hope in a darkening landscape." Schlesinger advised his readers to "eschew the Muskie bandwagon until, regrettably, that is the only one remaining," but held off formally endorsing McGovern in print until last month, lest the publication be dismissed out of hand as a McGovern mouthpiece. Now that Muskie's candidacy has collapsed, the monthly has turned its fire on Hubert Humphrey...
