New Zealand challenger Sir Michael Fay has spent $65 million, Italian industrialist Raul Gardini at least $100 million.

We've got 'em, and you'll be seeing 'em. It ain't gonna be pretty...
...diet best sellers," says Stuart Applebaum of Bantam Books. Another reflection of the changing standards: makers of liquid and powder diets are avoiding bone-thin models and choosing heftier people to hawk their products. TV host Cristina Ferrare, Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda and ex-New York City mayor Ed Koch hardly qualify as sylphs...
