Faulty Physiology. Doctors generally find fault with Ronsard's physiology. What the author calls cellulite is plain ordinary fat and certainly not toxic wastes, says Physiologist Marci Greenwood, a research associate at Columbia University's Institute of Human Nutrition. The dimpling effect, says Greenwood, often is caused by the loss of skin elasticity that occurs with aging. Nor is there any way to get rid of the dimpling. Exercise and proper diet may improve skin and muscle tone and make this excess adipose tissue less obvious, but it will not make it go away. Says Greenwood: "Body type...
Articulating this dynamic interplay between spoken words and latent tensions, and maintaining the superfine balance between the three characters, present a formidable challenge to the director and his cast. If John Greenwood's production does not always succeed in this, the attempt reveals intelligence and sensitivity.

An energetic proponent of inner-city rehabilitation, he co-authored part of the 1968 Federal Housing Act; this year he is increasing the proportion of his firm's inner-city lending from 17% to 41%. He has given 20% of his officer and supervisor jobs to women. Greenwood regards inaction on critical issues by both...
