Both spreads come with pretty good scientific credentials. The key ingredient in Benecol, which was approved last week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, comes from a compound that occurs naturally in pine trees. Take Control, which got the green light in April, uses an extract made from soybean oil. Randomized, controlled trials show that folks with mildly elevated cholesterol levels (between 200 mg/dl and 240 mg/dl) who ate roughly two tablespoons of Benecol a day decreased their level of LDL, the "bad cholesterol," about 14%. The manufacturers of Take Control, on the other hand, designed their product...

Coat Hangers VI (pictured on page 8), although in reductive terms just a "bunch of random lines," shows a tremendous intuitive sensitivity to line and form--it yearns to come alive. This is also evident in Automatic Drawing: Pine Branches (number 68-73), where the dozen or so lines he draws seem to suggest the form better than even the real thing...
