DIED. GENE LEVITT, 79, Brooklyn-born TV writer-director who created the 1970s series Fantasy Island; of prostate cancer; in Los Angeles.

...study's subjects went nuts on the stuff. They ate 2 tablespoonfuls of peanut butter and 1 1/2 oz. of nuts a day and kept meat and dairy fat to a minimum. The idea that a peanut diet cuts cholesterol is not a total surprise to nutritionists. Peanut oil, like olive, is a monounsaturated fat--a known cholesterol fighter.
