...first reaction is embarrassment with the old him. During the preliminary physical examination, Medical Director Dr. R. Philip Smith smiles benevolently and says that you are not fat; it's just that "your chest has fallen a bit." Sucking in your stomach, you proceed into the lush, hushed inner sanctum of the Men's Spa. The design is Spanish modern, the ambience neo-Nero. Through glass walls you see a garden with a Roman pool gurgling in the sun. Stationed here and there like bouncers are the "gentlemen technicians," muscular young men in tight, white T-shirts...
...leaves were canceled. Outside Saigon, South Vietnamese armor stood guard. In Hue, flak-jacketed ARVN Rangers carrying M-16s mingled with the holiday crowds. Memories of the 1968 holocaust were very much on the military's mind, but there was optimism as well. In the delta's lush Ba Xuyen province, a district chief discounted chances of a VC attack: "We've driven them out and I think they know better than to return." Earlier in the week, the enemy had mounted a minioffensive: 70 cities and bases were shelled or mortared one night, 44 the next...
...ending-a lush mass-execution of the ruling elite-was both predictable and fatiguing, as was the audience reaction.

Three lush-voiced ladies (Régine Crespin, Helen Donath and Yvonne Minton) keep the story poised convincingly between spring and autumn and the music teetering tenderly on the verge of tears. The big cast is stuffed with the names of well-loved Viennese singers, as well as the Met's sensational new tenor, Luciano Pavarotti...
...magician brings dead things to life." His sculptures of food, for example. Typical, terrible American cuisine fascinates him, the kinds of things dieters like Oldenburg himself try to avoid: a wedge of pecan pie, a banana sundae, racks of assorted pastry, ice cream, cheeseburgers. Made of plaster, slathered with lush enamel paint, these goodies actually seem ready for the consumer's fork and spoon. But like four-color advertisements of food, they are designed more to entice than to be eaten. An Oldenburg baked potato nonetheless looks hot, smoky, delicious -with butter melting over the white insides. Yet visually...
