...seal is the focus of an ambitious new nutrition-education effort by the A.H.A. But instead of winning universal plaudits for the program, the organization finds itself under fire from trade and consumer groups and even federal agencies, which charge that the project may add to shoppers' confusion. Under the plan, called HeartGuide, food manufacturers submit their products to be analyzed for cholesterol, salt, and total- and saturated-fat content. Items that meet the A.H.A.'s criteria are allowed to use the seal on labels and in advertisements. The imprimatur is currently limited to four categories -- margarines and spreads, canned...

...chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party from 1966 to 1977, the jovial, imposing (6 ft. 3 in.) Vance was the epitome of the moderate Southerner intent on expanding the rights of blacks. Vance successfully integrated the party, in the process helping to remove from its seal the white rooster that had long served as a symbol of white supremacy. In 1968 he led the first racially mixed state delegation to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. As a lawyer, Vance shocked the tight-knit legal community by breaking a gentlemen's agreement to keep blacks off juries in Birmingham. President...
