Plastic Piece. McLaughlin, now 47, has become one of this new breed. Once an editor on America magazine and a popular lecturer on sex ("Intimacy Before Marriage," "Intimacy Outside Marriage"), McLaughlin turned to politics in 1970.

The process could enable millions to drink milk without misery...
...Rhode Island researchers add small quantities of the enzyme lactase to milk. The result is a low-lactose milk that can be consumed directly, converted to yogurt or cheese, or dried to make other milk-based food products. The new product is slightly sweeter than unprocessed whole milk, which may make it unpalatable to some. But it offers important advantages over earlier lactose-free milk products: it has the same caloric and nutritive values as whole milk and is cheap to produce. Because the enzyme they used is already available commercially, the researchers believe that their process could be performed...
