Died. Louis Dreyfus, 89, aggressive German-born head of one of the world's largest music-publishing empires, Chappell & Co., who in the 1890s followed his older brother Max to the U.S., where they made a fortune publishing the works of Jerome Kern and George Gershwin, then shifted to London in 1929 to take over Britain's venerable Chappell & Co., establishing branches throughout the world and tying up the publishing rights for just about every major Broadway composer from Romberg to Loewe; of a heart attack; in London...

The mechanism of these reactions has now become clear, say Dr. Struthers and his Colorado colleague, Dr. Fred Kern Jr. Lactase is supposed to do its sugar-splitting work along the lining of the small bowel; if the enzyme is missing or in short supply, the undigested sugar passes into the large bowel, where it is promptly fermented. In the process, it generates gas and draws water into...
