NUTRITIONIST PUTS FATS IN THEIR PLACE
COMPLETE STORY
There it is on the menu: a delicious dish, but cooked with vegetable oil. Do you pass it up for a handful of cold celery and chopped carrots, or just order some of the tasty stuff? Dr. Jacqueline Dupont could tell you what to do. As a scientist studying food and nutrition, Dupont determined that vegetable oil and other polyunsaturates should not be forbidden; in fact, they're a necessity in our diets, if we want good health. For more than four decades, this FSU alumna has forged through mysteries of nutrition, and contributed to understanding diseases such as diabetes, arthritis and cystic fibrosis. She has helped develop nutritional standards for the nation, the standards that tell you how much fat and which fats are good for you.

FSU'S SCIENCE STUDENTS WIN TOP RESEARCH AWARDS
COMPLETE STORY
Florida State! Florida State! A well known chant that leaves
images of tough football players and screaming fans dancing in
your head. No one doubts the power of FSU on the athletic field,
but is that all this school has to offer?
Many students would say no way! Florida State is on the cutting
edge in the scientific world. In recent years, research in biology,
chemistry and genetics has expanded to new heights.
The proof is in the top-notch students Florida State University
is cranking out. Take for instance Jon Robitschek and Lisa Moffat
who spent their undergraduate days at FSU, where they embarked
on a journey that led to medical school and the esteemed Howard
Hughes Medical Institute-National Institutes of Health Research
Scholar Award.
So how did FSU develop these scientific wonders?
MARRIAGE OF ART AND SCIENCE
COMPLETE STORY
They live in a ground floor apartment on a block full of millionaires
in Greenwich Village. He's the courageous physicist who galvanized
33 of New York City's famous cultural institutions to stand up
against an attempt to kill the Brooklyn Museum of Art. She's
a successful mystery novelist and a former reporter for the San
Francisco Examiner - not to mention a woman standing fiercely
by her husband's side when the going gets tough. Glamour! Danger!
Intrigue! Headlines! Could these two be the Nick and Nora Charles
of the '90s? A new "Thin Man" with cats, and hold the
martinis, please?
The mayor of New York, a tough guy who doesn't like to be crossed,
was angry about a painting the museum was showing with elephant
dung on it. The show is called "Sensation," and the
mayor has made it a big one. In the middle of the uproar are
Alan and Mickey Friedman, mild-mannered alumni of FSU.
