Sweet'N Low, the low-cal sugar substitute, was invented by Brooklynite Benjamin Eisenstadt, who also created sugar packets, Butter Buds and Nu-Salt. His creativity may be genetic: his grandson is the gifted pop-culture historian Rich Cohen.

Neither artist nor island would ever be the same. In two visits to Bali, amounting to just 20 months' residency, Miguel Covarrubias created an impressive body of drawings and paintings of the life of the island, and carried out the research for a dense 400-page book about its culture. Amazingly, Island of Bali, published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1937, is still the indispensable work on the island's complex rituals...
