MODERATING A KENNEDY SCHOOL panel discussion two years ago on the role of the Palestinian Liberation Organization in Mid-East peace talks. Roger D. Fisher '43 ran into a little trouble. The Williston Professor of Law and selfstyled guru of negotiation strategy is the man most frequently called upon to moderate campus debates, thanks to a reputation for cool-headedness. But this time, even Fisher couldn't restrain Palestinian and Israeli panelists from loudly interrupting and insulting one another. Nor could his repeated calls for order stop audience members from interrupting speakers at will. Towards the debate...

...Beverly Hills Diet is the creation of Californian Judy Mazel, 37, an aspiring actress until she became a nutritional guru. Mazel allows only fruit the first ten days-as much as five pounds of grapes a day-and no meat, poultry or fish until Day 19. Some doctors say the book should be listed under fiction. A leading nutrition expert says, "If you went to a bookstore and bought a history that said the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1827 or World War I began in 1905, you'd be pretty angry."
