...terrine of rabbit set in a pale, jewel-like aspic. Wielding a tiny round cutter that he found in Japan, Robuchon scoops pinpoints of ivory apple and jade avocado to be tossed with lobster for an intriguing appetizer salad, and he lards snowy codfish with slivers of pink salmon before braising the combination...
...maybe not so curious. Spielberg has that tonic effect on a lot of people. Prowling the bustling Amazing Stories set in his blue baseball cap, brown leather bomber jacket, salmon-colored jeans, pink socks and gray running shoes with SPIELBERG stamped on the heels, the Mogul of Magic looks just old enough to be the classmate-coach at a college touch-football scrimmage. He has time for everyone, with a few jokes in between: "TV stands for Tender Vittles. That's what we're givin' 'em, folks, Tender Vittles." Spielberg's noncombative vitality infects everyone he works with. Says Richard...
Since 1972, the vineyards have been attracting baby boomers with the so- called blush wines. Made from such red grapes as Zinfandel or Pinot Noir, this wine is kept a pale salmon-pink by removing the skins, pulp and seeds from the juice before they darken the liquid.

Says William Young, western division president of D'Arcy MacManus Masius, the Wine Growers' advertising firm...
Researchers are only beginning to fathom the complex biochemical reasons for this effect. Fish, specifically such cold-water species as cod, salmon, sardines and mackerel, contain certain polyunsaturated oils that are found in no other foods and have profound effects on body chemistry. A diet rich in these fats reduces the tendency of blood to clot, much the way that aspirin does; it also helps lower the level of cholesterol in the blood. Both effects could help explain the low rate of heart disease in Eskimos...
...accompanying studies in the New England Journal focused on how a fish diet affects the body. Researchers at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland found that adding salmon oil to the diet seems to help lower the levels of triglycerides and a type of cholesterol known as VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein) in patients with high levels of these potentially dangerous fatty substances. According to Dr. William Connor, who headed the study, as much as 30% of the adult American population has high levels of these fats. In the past, these people have been advised to avoid fatty fishes...
