...Jodi a sticker on a chart; with enough stickers she can choose a reward. ABA was once famous for its M&M rewards, but better programs now tailor positive reinforcement to the child's preferences--a favorite activity, a hug or, in the case of one Alpine student, a packet of ketchup. Though Jodi didn't talk at all until age 3, she speaks well and is mastering skills quickly with the help of two hours of tutoring in the evening. "From the moment she wakes up till she goes to sleep, everything is structured," says her mother Michelle...

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. In his new book, Sweet and Low, Cohen tells the rollicking saga of Grandpa Ben's business, "taken over and stripmined by hooligans." The battle over this vast family fortune leads to feuds between siblings, corruption, lawsuits and the ultimate disintegration of the clan. It is Cohen's good fortune...
