Other doctors are not so squeamish. A Manhattan resident was startled last year when her gynecologist handed her a catalog of nutritional supplements (complete with the physician's vendor number) as part of her annual checkup. "Patients in a doctor's office are in a particularly vulnerable situation," says Dr. John Lantos, a medical ethicist at the University of Chicago. They might feel pressured to buy the products just to please their physician. Wouldn't it be less of a conflict of interest, he wonders, only half in jest, if doctors ran a fast-food restaurant in the lobby...
...least 50 cities--from Chicago to Tucson, Ariz., to liberal Berkeley, Calif.--have antivagrancy laws on the books. Such measures only displace the homeless, however.

...extreme, though I confess I think the Peterman contribution has been more to the culture of fantasy than to clothing. I search for Peterman moments in real life.

Door to door, counting the visiting period and pit stops, the round-trip ordeal will take between 18 and 20 hours. Along the way, Mrs. Rosado, a diabetic, will inject...
...recording studio in midtown Manhattan, hanging out with hip-hop superproducer Sean ("Puffy") Combs. It's 1997, and Puffy is keeping a low profile, working on his new album, his first as a solo performer. This album will be his coming-out party. He's eager to play a few tracks for you. People have him all wrong, he says. He majored in business management at Howard. He's not just about gangsta rap.Sounds from his new album fill the room. One song is based on a bit from the score to Rocky. Another, a sweeping, elegiac number, uses...
