...since January, according to Productscan, a marketing-intelligence firm in Naples, N.Y. Also tasting opportunity are food-and-beverage heavyweights like Anheuser-Busch, which launched a low-carb version of Michelob beer, and boxed-chocolate maker Russell Stover, which put out a line of low-carb candies. Says Gerry Morrison, president of Carbolite Foods in Evansville, Ind.: "This trend has expanded from die-hard low-carbers to a general population that is becoming much more carb-conscious." Indeed, in all-you-can-eat America, where 64% of the population is overweight, fully one-third of adults who say they...
...like to say we split up," Hayman says of Hefner. "It's just that four or five albums is enough, unless there's something really new to do." Hefner's drummer and guitarist are pursuing solo projects, while Hayman and bassist John Morrison are the French. Why call a band the French?

...change it," says Nobs, who was immortalized in the Purple anthem. ("Funky Claude was running in and out/ Pulling kids out of the ground.") Artists like Jacky Terrasson, Cassandra Wilson and Charles Lloyd will play the Casino, but the big acts in Montreux's main auditorium include Van Morrison, Radiohead and Craig David. It doesn't bother Nobs, who points out that an evening of light jazz from Natalie Cole and George Benson sold out as quickly as Radiohead did. For a concentrated dose of music, nothing quite matches the North Sea Jazz Festival (July 11-13), which packs around...
Jewel was a big deal a few years back--in spite of herself. She was a pop singer with a nice voice, but she dispensed her hippie homilies with a spooky intensity, as if she thought her words were closer in meaning to Toni Morrison's than Toni Braxton's. Her popularity proved that people will put up with a lot as long as they can sing along with the chorus...
