...looks like something out of an early Happening. Or an Andy Warhol movie. Or one of those puckish pop art pieces of George Segal or Marisol. As a matter of fact, Henry Geldzahler can claim all that and more.

"The public will continue to look for other diet products rather than return to sugar products," says Marvin Eisenstadt, an official of Cumberland Packing Corp., producers of Sweet 'N Low, a sugar substitute made of saccharin and a cyclamate. It is unlikely, however, that dieters will switch to saccharin, since it often leaves a bitter taste.
