...Zone's Sears is defensive about having his diet, which is lower in fats and proteins, grouped with Atkins'. "Any meal that you have to take potassium supplements, there's something wrong with that," he says of the high-protein diets. He advises eating a protein portion the size of your hand, lots of vegetables and water, and treating carbs and fat like condiments. (The goal: a 40-30-30 caloric ratio of carbs to protein to fat.)

The elementary school cafeteria-cum-auditorium look makes the stage the ultimate in public-private reconciliation, offering one of the most postmodern dining experience on campus (the Pforzheimer lovers balconyaside): the private, commensal experience of eating a meal becomes a dramatic public performance--life as an intermission between play acts...
