...Wilson's deeper ironies that the callow but decent Julian lacks conviction while the older and more experienced Hunter is full of indecent passion and ambition. Hunter's conquest of Felicity is pure business, part of securing the private papers of James Petworth Lampitt, a deceased minor writer who was a friend of her father's. Hunter succeeds, and by playing up Lampitt's possible suicide and probable homosexuality, turns the life of a justifiably forgotten literary figure into a scandalous best seller. "One accomplishes nothing so stylishly as the thing in which one has no belief," thinks Julian. "Gigolos...
...researchers harbor similar fears about falling behind in a broad range of disciplines, from optical electronics to supercomputers. While the U.S. is still plowing ahead in pure science, American industry has fallen behind in the race to turn those advances into products that are reliable, reasonably priced and directed toward the needs of consumers. "America is probably the world's greatest innovator nation," says Robert White, president of the National Academy of Engineering, "but we don't have the ability to capture the benefits of those scientific discoveries."

Says Dallas caterer Janet Showers: "There...
Cholesterol in the bloodstream comes from two sources: it is produced naturally by the body's cells and also results from the intake of foods containing saturated fats or pure cholesterol -- for example, butter, cheese, liver, eggs and animal fat. In the Third World, where relatively little saturated fat and cholesterol are consumed, most people seem to be protected from heart disease by low LDL levels. The problem with the Western world's rich diet is that it puts the body into overdrive, so that more LDL cholesterol accumulates in the bloodstream than can be absorbed and used by cells...
