In a restrained, muted speech, he spoke of America's "bold initiatives" in 1972, and warned against "a time of retreat and isolation."

Having begun to suspect that eating as usual is not good for them, Americans are often frustrated in their quest for something better. Dietary prescriptions tend to be contradictory. Nutritionists disagree on the merits of milk drinking, argue over the value of vitamins and debate long and learnedly over the role of diet in health and weight control.
