...list, for women, is suction lipectomy, an operation developed in France and introduced in the U.S. in 1982. Also called liposuction, it entails the insertion under the skin of a hollow, blunt-ended tube that is attached to a high-powered suction machine that vacuums out the fat. The procedure can take 30 minutes to three hours, depending on how many problem areas are worked on. Removal of saddlebag thighs runs about $2,000; love handles, $1,500; saggy jowls, $1,300; and baggy knees, $1,200. Observes Dr. Jack D. Norman, a Miami plastic surgeon: "Twenty years...

The public has taken a role in park planning through a series of town- hall meetings. Among the suggestions: erecting campsite fences to keep out cows and banning fat-tired all-terrain bicycles from trails...
...point director Chad Raphael well understands. His stagings are often brilliantly choreographed, bringing out the full chaotic energy of the work. The nightclub entertainment scene metamorphoses into a very credible three-ring circus complete with a strong man in a leopard skin (Ken), scantily-clad female (Lisa Lindley), fat lady (Eileen), can-can dancer (Ted), and Elvis impersonator (Donal Logue)--a deliriously wild spectacle that is one of this show's unforgettable moments. In this scene, Raphael also reminds us of Orton's message that we are all guests in this camp by having the two couples start off sitting...
