Between the Lines seems to end in mid-arc. The bad guys have just taken over the Mainlinethe good guys, having spent most of the film in limbo, now find the resolve to leave, to develop the talents they have allowed to moulder. All the obstacles to career change vanish. So, even more miraculously, do the impediments to romance. A reluctant Laura accompanies the husband she has previously vowed to leave to his new job in New York. Following her lead, Abbie and Harry, suddenly reconciled, march out of a bar with their arms around each other, leaving poor...

Such products as diet jams and jellies, sugarless chewing gum and even some familiar toothpaste tastes will have to be drastically altered. Sweet 'n Low and other sugar substitutes may vanish from the table, forcing dieting coffee and tea drinkers to take their favorite brew straight-or with sugar. Leading soft-drink manufacturers like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are promising to continue marketing diet drinks, presumably by reducing sugar content of some beverages, resorting to sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup, and perhaps...
