...homeless person on the way to the subway, go to the gym, go to the sushi bar, go home and fall asleep," says Kenneth Adams, executive director of New York Cares, a sort of charitable clearinghouse for yuppies that has recruited 600 young volunteers to tutor dropouts, serve in soup kitchens, renovate housing and visit the elderly. "The Me generation is dying," says Adams, "and New York Cares is one example of how it's being put to rest." Call it yuppie love...
...DELICIOUS FILM SEQUEL When the Danish film Babette's Feast opened in the U.S. early this year, the irresistible meal prepared by the French-chef- masquerading-as-housemaid was offered in a posh restaurant in most of the cities where the film was shown. The meal, with its turtle soup (real or mock), its blini pancakes with caviar, the cailles en sarcophage -- quails with truffles and foie gras in a "sarcophagus" of puff pastry -- and the yeasty rum-drenched baba dessert, has become a classic staple at Petrossian in New York City, at $125 with the wines or $90 without...

The substance is, after all, only one element in an alphabet soup of particles that make up the so-called lipid transport system, which moves cholesterol through the bloodstream. Though individual cells can make their own cholesterol, much of their supply comes from the bloodstream, arriving from the liver aboard macromolecular ferryboats, known as very-low-density lipoproteins, or VLDLs. These carrier particles are loaded in the liver with cholesterol and dietary fats known as triglycerides, which are used by cells...
...pitfall of Hollywood biographies. But Carey's impassive storytelling is dry, relying too often on Loos' detailed diary to the exclusion of analysis. Do we really need to know that, "That afternoon, while Gladys was still in Teaneck, she prepared a lunch of toast and Lipton's chicken noodle soup and started her new diary with a list of New Year's resolutions...
