...major attraction without charge. Remembering the rapacious playlands of the past, where gambling, boozing and whoring were as rife as popcorn and pizza, most theme parks promote soft drinks and fast foods. They dispense a dizzily dyspeptic array of instant edibles from storefronts with names like Yum Yum Palace, Mustard's Last Stand and the Hokey Pokey. Heroic exceptions to the no-brew stand-up eating syndrome are the Busch Gardens, near Williamsburg, Va., and Tampa, Fla.

Increasing specialization has sent the old−and often romanticized−doctor-patient relationship the way of such medical artifacts as the mustard plaster and the house call. New medical technology and a complicated insurance system have turned much of medicine from a profession into a business, reducing doctors to entrepreneurs and their patients to "medical consumers," who must be sold on the benefits of 20th century health care very much as television viewers...
