...After recording what else the children ate, researchers realized that the fruit beverages accounted for 25% to 60% of the daily consumption of calories. "What would happen to adults who were taking a third of all their calories in the form of apple juice?" asks Dr. Fima Lifshitz, head of pediatrics at Maimonides and co-author of the study. "When you give children one single source of calories, like juice, you're not giving them the minerals and nutrients for normal growth." Shortly after the parents started giving their children less juice and more milk, the infants began gaining weight...
...last thing researchers want their finding to do is provoke a backlash against fruit juices. Certainly, older children can still indulge their habit. All that is required is common sense.

Lauren grew up in the 1940s and '50s in the Bronx's middle- class Mosholu Parkway section, the youngest of three boys and a girl born to Frank and Frieda Lifshitz.

It wasn't some family dynasty." Ralph and Jerry rattled off potential names to each other and settled almost randomly on Lauren, which sounded euphonious to them...
...Like Klein, Ralph Lauren, né Lifshitz, was born in The Bronx. At 36, in only his fourth year of designing women's wear, he is perhaps the most purely American of all. For the "thoroughbred, American-looking girl who really takes care of her body," he creates clothes that are "part of living, earthly, tweedy." He is a masterful tailor and a lover of fabrics such as Harris tweed and British flannel. His slim, sleek adaptations of English blazers and hacking jackets are, he says, "unfashionable in a way, yet fun and exciting in their function." His women...
