Most prolific of all travel writers-and Fielding's chief competitor-is Eugene Fodor, who grinds out a fat Guide to Europe and individual guidebooks to 17 nations every year. Unlike Fielding, his books cover the full range of tourism, from historical background to such practical tips as how to kick a hangover in Paris (drink Fernet-Branca) and how to gamble in casinos (for the best odds, play trente et quarante). Trouble is, Fodor leaves the actual writing and research of his books to a staff of 100 contributors, and the results are wildly uneven. He is good...
...Sugar & Fat. Some of his teen-age patients drank as much as four quarts of milk a day, Dr. Fisher found, and their acne tapered off as soon as he tapered off their milk. His acne patients drank up to four times as much milk as the general population. Cow's milk contains 3½ times as much salt as human milk, Dr. Fisher noted, along with generous amounts of butterfat and milk sugar. And Dr. Fisher accuses sugars as well as fats of aggravating acne. More to the point, male hormones (androgens) have long been recognized...

The august members of Georgia's Augusta National Golf Club were embarrassed when Nicklaus ripped their course to shreds last year-firing a record 17-under-par 271 for 72 holes, winning the Masters by nine strokes.

Kay (Joanna Pettet), whose marriage begins the action of the story and whose death ends it, marries a failure who eventually beats her and nearly drives her insane--but she can't let The Group know she's made an unsuccessful marriage. Pokey (Mary-Robin Redd) is fat, funny, and fertile (two sets of twins, my dear), and finally, Lakey (Candace Bergen) is the aloof aesthete who is a lesbian...
...transcends his gutter, recalling ancient nights. A fat little lady on the subway, purse and packages piled in her lap, eyes shut like a kitten, is holy in her thoughts...
