...proposal before the Berkeley city council becomes law, hoteliers will be offering more than a bed, bath and Gideon Bible. Leland Traiman, a registered nurse who treats AIDS patients, has suggested that the city help combat the spread of the disease by requiring hotels and motels to equip each guest room with safe-sex information kits, including condoms. The kits would also be distributed at some local massage parlors and saunas. "There could be a sign with each kit saying, THE BIBLE MAY SAVE YOUR SOUL, BUT THIS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE," says Traiman. Some innkeepers fear that guests might...
...chain link fencing and peer past the scaffolding and sandbags are rewarded with a wholly different, riveting view of the famous piazza: underground. There, some 30 Italian archaeologists are digging through a cross section of history from the Bronze Age to medieval times. Exposed now is a Roman thermal bath with its frigidarium, or cold room, almost intact. And smack on top of that are the remnants of a tower dating from the 13th century era of the Ghibellines. With 86,000 sq. ft. of past at his feet, archaeologist Giuliano De Marinis, director of the dig, is exultant: "Piazza...
...diverted substantial quantities of the commodity into home brewing. Authorities have somewhat relaxed their original strictures on liquor production, but sugar is still rationed in 67 of the Russian Republic's 86 administrative districts.

Costliest of all was the struggle for RJR Nabisco (1987 revenues: $16 billion), whose price tag set a record with each new offer. Top RJR Nabisco executives, backed by Wall Street's Shearson Lehman Hutton and Salomon Brothers, raised their bid from $17.6 billion to $21 billion, topping the rival offer of $20.6 billion from Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, the high-flying leveraged-buyout firm. Now the two sides...
TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT. Richard Dennis, 39, known in Chicago as the Prince of the Pit, was one of the most successful commodities traders in the world. He launched bold invasions into markets ranging from Treasury bonds to precious metals. But he took a bath in financial futures after the crash and in grain during last summer's drought. His two public commodities funds lost an estimated $50 million in the past year, or nearly 50% of their value. Dennis decided last month to pack up his diminished fortune, estimated at $200 million, and move on to another...
