...chief of the Fodor's Modern Guides, the 16-volume Fisher guides are aimed at travelers who like other people to make their decisions for them. Everything-hotels, restaurants, sights, museums and points of interest-gets from zero to five stars, which saves those who are in a rush to hit the beach the necessity of having to read the breezy text or the cute but helpful marginal annotations. Although the Fisher European tour whirls through 18 countries, it is often finely detailed, right down to the best restaurant in Delphi (Grigoris) and the best attraction in Oslo (Vigeland...

But a study comparing homosexuals with AIDS to disease-free gays showed little correlation with use of the drug. The 20-page questionnaire disclosed, however, that AIDS victims tended to be sexually promiscuous. In addition, some were the passive partners...
...Then the rush was on. American companies will turn out an estimated 750 million aseptic packages this year. By 1987, U.S. firms expect to ship about 4 billion annually.
