...Methuselah Factors is more than a handbook for living well into the 21st century. Had Georgakas confined his book to a 'how-to' guide for beating old age, he'd have succumbed to the same shortsightedness, triviality and impossible hypotheses that make calorie counters, exercise manuals and sex menus only marginally worthwhile. As he prescribes proper habits for today's would-be centenarians, Georgakas vigorously attacks America's carcinogenic and achievement-oriented society. That society's herky-jerk lifestyle, Georgakas argues, prevents people from attaining the relaxed routines that characterize his beloved oldsters...

It could recommend the creation of a student judicial board and of student panels to influence tenuring and admissions policy. It could...
Sensing Americans' growing interest in food and wine, they decided to recast their menus to emphasize "the best and freshest seasonal foods" and, rather than pay slavish obeisance to Continental cuisine, create food in an American idiom. In this, with Swiss Chef Josef ("Seppi") Renggli, they have succeeded admirably; their prize recipes bloom in all of The Four Seasons (Simon & Schuster; $24.95). Unlike many books by more celebrated restaurateurs, The Four Seasons trio present their recipes, and raisons d'être, in succinct and practical form. Elevating basic family dishes to haute cuisine, their prescriptions range from...
