Heavily qualified ("As yet there is no final proof"), the A.H.A. statement failed to beat its detractors-who were primed for battle-into print. The National Dairy Council, whose products (whole milk, butter, cream, cheese) were identified by the A.H.A. as cholesterol-producing villains, fought back fiercely. "The idea that replacing some 'saturated' fats [animal and hydrogenated fats] with 'unsaturated' fats will help prevent heart disease is clearly unproved," said the council. Manipulating the diet in favor of unsaturated fats (chiefly liquid vegetable oils), suggested the council darkly, could even be dangerous to health...
...action. And in Minneapolis, Physiologist Keys-who helped draft the A.H.A. statement-called it an acceptable compromise, although it contained "some undue pussyfooting." Said he: "The A.H.A. had to get the facts out. A deal like this includes a great deal of commercial pressure. People in the meat, dairy, butter, and oils industries have billions at stake. They're very unhappy. The vegetable oil people are delighted. We couldn't care less...
...Toast, No Butter. Now and then, of course. Dr. Lenard suffers a slip of the stylus. Forgivably enough, he fumbles a number of Milne's choicer puns ("ambush" as a bush, "issue" as a sneeze), and the great gag about Piglet's grandfather.

According to Dr. Frederick L. Santee, a leading U.S. Latinist, the Romans had no toast and no word for it, and though they...
...typical day for Strauss, when he is not off at NATO meetings, inspecting bases or addressing political rallies, begins at 7:30. He has breakfast (tea, dark bread with butter and white cheese) with his wife Marianne and the baby at his villa above the Rhine. By the time his black BMW delivers him at the office at 8:45, his staff has already clipped the news from 140 German and foreign newspapers. Strauss plows through it all. Working at top speed on a schedule prepared 14 days in advance, he fires machine-gun orders at subordinates, sees people, attends...
...shame, however, that one of O'Hara's few good novels had to be manhandled the way Butter-field 8 has been--although the catastrophe might be attributed to force of habit. For Butterfield 8 is one of the truly great chronicles of the 1930's. Unlike the more recent O'Hara offerings, it is not filled with drooly bedroom scenes and lurid prose; rather, it is a sympathetic study of Gloria Wandrous and of the kind of age that could produce such a girl...
