...drenched meat and butter one wants but must cut out cereal and bread. And if Sieger is puzzled by certain aspects of the diet--among other things, the initial phase is so low in fiber that constipation is often a problem--she finds merit in others. "I guess I'm curious to see if it works," she says. "I'm willing to give...
...time. The University of Arizona, which developed the drug, has licensed its findings to two firms. Epitan, in Australia, is testing a form of the drug it hopes will tan without titillating, while Palatin, in the U.S., is developing a version intended for sexual stimulation.

...Guess what? on his 16th album, October Road, JAMES TAYLOR strums the ol' guitar and sings some sweet words. If you own more than three of Taylor's previous 15 records, you'll like this one too. But Road doesn't have much to offer the nonbeliever. Taylor has never created a lot of musical tension, but his best work has at least oozed melody. Here even the standout tracks--September Grass, My Traveling Star--feel like tangents, good ideas expressed with acoustic ease but without choruses to tie them up. The best that can be said...
