...contrast to the monotonous vegetarianism of the '60s (steamed carrots, brown rice and beans ruled), today's highbrow organic restaurants not only offer a wide variety of dishes but also often serve meat. Patrons of New York City's Luma, for example, can enjoy free-range pheasant sauteed with wild morels in a rosemary-sage sauce ($22). Says Luma co-owner Eric Stapelman: "We've bridged the gap between classic gourmet cuisine and natural food." Gingerbread-style Chez Panisse, located in Berkeley, features winter-squash tortellini in a black-truffle sauce as part of its $55 prix-fixe dinner...
Most restaurants featuring natural food concede that they are hard pressed to offer a 100% organic menu year-round. The best they can hope for is 80% to 90% during the spring and summer months, when local farms are in full bloom; in winter the percentage can slip below 50%. Running an organic restaurant presents other problems. The hours are longer than the average restaurant's, and the drill is more tedious. Menus can change daily, depending on what is available.

The spread of AIDS, for instance, has prompted some right-to-die activists to offer support and counseling about pills and occasionally lethal injections to people with the virus. Pierre Ludington, 44, executive director of the American Association of Physicians for Human Rights, has tested HIV-positive: he is stockpiling pills to use when he is ready to go. "I get angry that society wants me to suffer in a hospital," he says. "All I'm doing is feeding its coffers...
...notion of commercials in the classroom raised a furor when it was introduced last year. It also inspired a shrewd countermove by Atlanta cable kingpin Ted Turner. Starting last September, Turner's Cable News Network began offering a classroom newscast of its own, without commercials. (Time Warner Inc. owns 18% of CNN's parent, Turner Broadcasting Co., and 50% of Whittle Communications.) The 15-minute show, CNN Newsroom, is telecast each morning at 3:45; schools with cable can tape it and play it back later in the day. Turner's nonprofit venture does not offer free equipment, but many...
