...many doctors are unconvinced by the blitz. The Medical Letter, a highly regarded bulletin for physicians, notes that in one published study of 66 obese patients, the greatest weight loss was achieved not by anyone on PPA but by someone who had been given a placebo. Says Letter Consulting Editor Dr. Martin Rizack: "If somebody really wants to lose weight, you can give them almost anything and probably get an effect...
...Providence Journal-Bulletin two years ago sued the FBI, demanding that it make public 7,000 pages of transcripts from bugs placed in the Providence office of Mafia Boss Raymond Patriarca in the 1960s. To Patriarca's dismay, a judge ruled that disclosure was warranted under the Freedom of Information Act.

...half a dozen of the nation's top humor columnists accusing Baker of spending $100,000 to lobby for the prize and suggesting a response to any queries about the award: "I have no comment until I read one of Baker's columns." When Baker received the bulletin, he fired off one of his own, thanking his colleagues for planning a gala testimonial dinner in his honor. "Unfortunately, I cannot accept," he added, "as I will be busy throughout the rest of the spring counting my prize money...
