...there is something a little too clean about Galbraith's life, the unwanted fat comes away from the meat with too much precision. We learn much of Galbraith's political struggles but little about what he was ultimately fighting for; it seems almost as if he were trying to distinguish his work from the memoirs of another occasional Harvard professor, The Education of Henry Adams, published publicly in 1918, dwelt perhaps excessively on the soul of the nation it portrayed, but from Galbraith comes too little about that nation's--and his own--soul...
...reduce cholesterol levels most doctors recommend a very un-American diet. Says Dr. Jeremiah Stamler of Northwestern University: "We need more fruit, more vegetables, beans, fish, skim milk, lean meat and poultry. I'd like to see McDonald's have fresh orange juice as well as Coke, baked potatoes as well as French fries, yogurt instead of pie.

...involves a spring-loaded tube covered with bait and planted in the ground. When a coyote begins tugging at the bait, the device fires a lethal dose of cyanide into its mouth.

A meal in a more modest restaurant can go for as little as $8. Gasoline is high-$3.25 per gal.-but that is offset...
...bowling to the Beatles, Frisbeeing while learning French, skiing to Shostakovich and jogging to Jagger. The thin wires of the headsets uncoil from Brooks Brothers blazers and Gucci bags, as well as from bib overalls and warmup suits. Commuters, pitchers in bull pens, shoppers hovering over the meat counter and sunbathers soaking up rays are tuning in by the millions. In Houston, prospective buyers of the Sony Walkman, the original device that touched off the craze last year, must sign up for at least a 60-day wait at major audio outlets. In the Boston area, the waiting period...
