...hour and up, and a course of nutritionanalysis can run from an hour to a lifetime. In Beverly Hills, Registered Dietitian Hermien Lee charges $550 for a 14- session, 14-week program. "I call myself a food troubleshooter," says Lee, who asks clients (including Ann-Margret and Robert Wagner) to take note of their troubles by keeping a diary detailing every bit of their daily food intake. At one session with Lee last month, Filmmaker Janna Gelfand, 26, read off the venial sins that had cost her an added pound, notably hors d'oeuvres at two cocktail parties. "You should...

Parents dissatisfied with the version of the city curriculum served up in their district can pull their children out of particular classes by informing the principal. The program is sometimes popular, as it is at P.S. 42, but the effort to accommodate everyone is unacceptable to many. Last month the board of education mandated...
...similarly, Sir Arthur Sullivan -- but it was his 40-odd operettas (Babes in Toyland, Naughty Marietta) that won him lasting fame. Hunsberger leads crisp, snappy performances of several rousing marches and show tunes. The disk also includes selections from Herbert's forgotten 1911 grand opera Natoma: light Wagner set in Southern California with an Indian maiden for a heroine, if such a thing can be imagined...
