Richard Stuart. Yo-yo syndrome. Assume that like most of us these days you're struggling to stick to the sensible diet. Still you can't seem to resist snacking on a hot dog smothered with onions, relish and mustard at a baseball game or a rock conert. How do you break your automatic habit pattern? That question was put to Dr. Richard B. Stuart, psychological director of the 600,000 members of Weight Watchers International. He was in Toronto recently to promote his new Book of the Month Club bestseller, Act Thin, Stay Thin (George J. McLeod, $11.50).

Doreen MacDonald picked up a toaster from a pile of battered appliances in the Qeen St. E. Soup-to-nuts junk store run by Jack Himself Cohen. One dollar. Himself said. Does it work? Doreen asked. I don't know. Why don't you plug it in and find out? All I do is sell as is. You won't plug it in? No. Doreen paid the $1 and once again proved Himself's credo: I don't polish anything. I learned my lesson when I polished the $25 special finish off a candelabra early in business. Since then I sell everything just as it is. [Incomplete]

When law student Steve Cohen embraced Jews for Jesus, his mother said to him Don't write, Don't call, don't visit. That was eight years ago, Cohen says. My children have never met their grandparents and it's a heartache for me. But his commitment is unshaken.
