...Dumas is channeling growth into new areas by acquiring such choice firms as John Lobb, the prestigious British shoemaker, and Cristalleries de St. Louis, the 223-year- old French glassware manufacturer. Fancy a pair of calfskin-clad garden shears? (They will set you back $475.) A jungle-print bath towel? ($525.) A suitcase made of carbon fiber, adapted from the sheathing on the European Space Agency's Ariane rocket? ($5,450.) Dumas has expanded the product line to 30,000 items...
...Church of England nowadays draws half its new clergy from the growing Evangelical wing, but men of more liberal stripe dominate among the bishops and power brokers. Thus it was a dramatic step last week when an amiable Evangelical named George Carey, Bishop of Bath and Wells, was named to be the 103rd Archbishop of Canterbury.

Or the trash fires that start spontaneously from time to time near the radio and TV broadcast antennas in downtown Honolulu. Or the pristine suburb of Vernon, N.J., that has both one of the world's highest concentrations of satellite transmitting stations and a persistent -- and unexplained -- cluster of Down's syndrome cases...
...cancer common in AIDS patients that produces severe skin lesions. The doctors thought that heating a patient's blood might combat the cancer and possibly even kill the AIDS virus. During the procedure, called hyperthermia, blood is drawn from a vein in the groin, heated in a water bath and continuously recirculated into the body. In little more than an hour, the body's temperature reaches 108 degrees F, and it is kept there for an additional two hours. Crawford came through the operation with no ill effects, as did Tony -- so far. Logan and Alonso were careful...
