...evident in past and continuing controversies over mercury in fish, bug spray on tomatoes, too much sugar in baby food, bacterial contamination in canned and frozen foods, red dye in anything. The big swing towards "health foods" is an indicator of this consumer anxiety--every supermarket has its granola, three times as costly as the oatmeal on the next shelf. Good eating, once an economic luxury, is a gain becoming a privilege as the price of coffee rises. But can you really give up the caffeine...
Neil Diamond: Beautiful Noise (Columbia). "Life ain't easy, but it ain't that bad ..." sings Neil Diamond in his Crunchy Granola baritone. "You're alive, you might as well be glad." Three and a half years ago, when he was close to the top of the rock pile, Diamond decided to take a performing sabbatical and enjoy family life.

It all sounds a bit far-fetched to me and not quite...
DOCTORS' HOSPITAL (NBC, Wednesday, 9 p.m. E.D.T.) has George Peppard as Ben Casey redivivus-another resident neurosurgeon who sprinkles ground-up interns on his crunchy granola for breakfast, gnaws on the leg of a hospital administrator at lunch and fries incompetent colleagues for dinner. Hospital-show scripts are as predictable as hospital menus-and bear precisely the same relationship to real drama as institutional food does to haute cuisine...
