...built around the "Pepsi Challenge" slogan, the rival cola was becoming increasingly popular with younger drinkers, who seemed to prefer its sweetness to the crisper taste of Coke. The inroads were largest in supermarkets, where Pepsi in 1977 actually overtook Coke in sales. Because of its dominance in the fountain and vending-machine trade, however, Coke still holds an overall 22% to 19% edge. Each point represents about $200 million in sales...
...performance as a gregarious geriatric rejuvenated by aliens is one of the high points of Cocoon, the sci-fi fantasy that has become one of the top summer box-office hits. Offscreen, however, veteran Actor Don Ameche, 77, seems already to have found his own fountain of youth. He reports he performed the movie's swan dives and jackknives in "all but a fraction of a shot." His secret: "a lot of hard work," including a daily five-mile walk and a 20-to-25-minute aerobics workout most mornings. For 35 years he has limited himself...
...labs all over the world. And in clinical tests, each company says its cream decreases the depth of fine facial lines to some degree.

He supervised the recent redesigning of the sprawling Tudor house, and the result is a cross between a vest-pocket Disneyland and Citizen Kane's Xanadu in suburbia. The menagerie, the soda fountain, the screening room are dream toys of childhood and the diversions of Southern California show-business affluence, all awash in the pastels of perennial boyhood. He takes trips to the Disney parks as to a shrine. He has spoken often about doing a movie musical of Peter Pan. --TIME, March...
...album Take Fountain comes with a flashy cover brandishing “The Wedding Present,” the name of a group dormant since 1997, when songwriter David Gedge began recording more mature and Baroque-styled pop songs under the name Cinerama, collaborating with girlfriend Sally Murrel. The relationship has recently ended, and Gedge has returned to the band he made his name with in the late ’80s. Unfortunately, he hasn’t fully shaken the musical indulgences that set Cinerama’s music apart from the brash and jangly sound of the Wedding...
