...world-for example, large groups in Asia, Africa and Latin America-eat food containing barely a third as much fat. The concentrations of cholesterol in the blood of such groups are much less than in those consuming the excess-calorie and high-fat diets, and some reports indicate that heart attacks are correspondingly fewer...
...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...

Though foot-and-mouth disease is rarely fatal-most animals recover after two or three weeks of painful blisters on the hoof, tongue and inside of the mouth-it strikes fiercely at dairy cattle, sharply reducing their milk production and afflicting them with sterility, heart trouble and chronic lameness. Produced by a virus, the disease is rampantly contagious, can be carried by humans (who very rarely contract it), birds, wild animals, frozen meat and even the wind. To combat its dread effects, Britain's Ministry of Agriculture has adopted a Draconian policy: the slaughter...

Five shepherds struggled across the snowy heath, settled in Brueghel postures around a fire, described their dreams in which angels told them (in Latin) of the Nativity. The scene was the heart of the pageant, but except for a roaring wind machine, the music had stopped completely; it was the ultimate development of a composer who has long since ceased writing for the concert hall, now considers "language power" and staging to be the prime effects of musical drama...
