LIQUID DIETS. Are they safe? How they Work. COVER: Photos by Marty Urnans.

A LOSING FORMULA: THE LIQUID DIET CRAZE: In their passion to slim down, an estimated 20 million Americans will spend nearly $1 billion this year on liquid-diet products and programs. Packets of low-cal protein mix are turning up at cor-porate lunches, society din-ners—even at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where the president uses it to shed an occasional pound. Hundreds of diet clinics have opened up in recent years to peddle their own fat-fighting secrets. But as the weight rolls off, questions are piling up too. Are these formulas safe? Do they work any better than other diet plans? Can they keep pounds off? litestyle: Page 52.

IS HAVEL'S HONEYMOON OVER? Czechoslovakia's playwright-president Vaclav Havel is the one genuine hero of the East-bloc revolutions of 1989. Swept into office on a tide of popular emotion, he is a national icon. But six weeks before the country's first democratic election since 1946, the "Velvet Revolution" is struggling. The government has not fully erased Communist power. It has dithered over economics. Havel's own Civic Forum alliance may break up. The question in Prague: Havel led the revolution, but can he govern? International: Page 28.

HOW WILL THE UNIVERSE END? Ninety percent of the cosmos consists of mysteri-ous "dark matter" that conventional telescopes can't detect. But the missing matter may soon be found. This week, if all goes as planned, the space shuttle Discovery will carry the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) into orbit. What the HST learns about the phantom matter will provide clues to the fate of the universe. Society: Page 60.
