...effort put into organizing Harvard's 350th celebration this fall, perhaps the most noticeable absence was any attempt, by any official group, to take stock of the programs and hierachy of the University in the mid-1980s. Because students and alumni often regard themselves as temporary and insignificant members of an immortal institution, they assume that this generation has no business reviewing or revising the way Harvard operates.

These aides regard Tuesday's State of the Union speech as Reagan's golden -- and perhaps last -- chance to reassert his leadership. The address has assumed near epic public relations proportions because Reagan has pretty much been under wraps since Iranscam erupted in late November.

He is determined that no one discern differences between himself and the President...

It can take a year "to change people's ways of thinking and behaving in regard to eating," says Sherry Siegel, founder of a Chicago weight-consulting firm. There are also those who proffer unorthodox advice, like Oz Garcia, a successful, self-taught New York City nutritionist who decides what clients should eat after he has analyzed their hair. "I was a walking penny," says Amy Greene, 54, a makeup consultant at the chic Henri Bendel...
