Naturally, these remarkable results have created a great buzz. Word of mouth is big in some circles in Southern California, for example, where washboard abs and buns of steel are practically residency requirements. National weight-loss clinics, including Jenny Craig and Nutri/System, are scrambling to work Redux into their programs. Last week Sheldon Levine, a New Jersey diet doctor, began a high-profile nationwide publicity campaign to flog his new book, The Redux Revolution (Morrow; $20), a 222-page paean to what is being promoted as "the most important weight-loss discovery of the century...
...show is a tour de force, for performer and designers alike. Amblad is the only thing to look at for the whole length of the show, and it takes a lot of nerve to do what he is called upon to do. At one point, he twitches his mouth in sync with a train whistle; at another, he pretends to be electrocuted as we hear a loud buzz; towards the end, he actually bangs his head and face repeatedly into the seat of his chair, and he does it hard, so that we can hear it.

...Phillips, 62, was shopping at a San Diego mall with her husband Eric when she felt an odd tugging on the right side of her face. Her mouth twisted into a lurid grimace. Suddenly she felt weak. "What kind of game are you playing?" asked Eric. "I'm not," Lee tried to respond--but her words came out in a jumble. "Let's go to the hospital," Eric urged her. All Lee wanted to do was go home and lie down. Fortunately, as it turned out, her husband helped summon an ambulance instead...
