Enough of Atkins, Stillman and Scarsdale. It may be that the Boring Diet works as well-or better. Scientists have long reasoned that if good taste and smell can increase appetite, terrible taste and odor, or one flavor eaten over and over, should be boring enough to decrease it. Last week, at an international conference on "The Determination of Behavior by Chemical Stimuli," a pair of biologists reported findings suggesting that any tedious diet helps weight loss. If it were possible to eat one food all the time, according to Israeli Nutritional Biochemist Michael Nairn, all but the genetically obese...
...Magnen's work shows that when their diet is monotonous, rats eat only what they need, but overeat and become fat when fed a different flavor every 30 minutes.

Le Magnen also reported evidence, in both rats and humans, that each new tasty food produces a conditioned insulin release. In other words, even if a varied meal and a one-food meal are equal in size and good taste, the varied meal may prove more...

Yet Napoleon goes still farther and develops into a four-and-a-half hour monument to nationalism--that thoroughly obscene word--and concludes in a sweeping millenial vision. All France will find redemption in this one, unlikely man. It smell of wild irrationality, even fascism. How could anyone believe...

So much of Apocalypse Now is unbelievable; the jungle, the eerie lights of the encampments, the unreal G.I. show, Wagner pouring out of choppers. Francis Ford Coppola comes so close to coaxing this monstrous myth into flight. Yet, at the end he fails because he abandons...
