...drugstore the French transmogrified it into a near-erotic experience. Over the past dozen years, several versions of Le Drugstore have appeared in Paris: multimedia bazaars featuring bizarre decor, intimate bars, lavish food and smart boutiques.

It granted $84,700 to the Cedar Rapids police, who bought an alarm system from the Wells Fargo Alarm Services Division of Baker Industries. The company has put 350 intrusion alarms into gas stations, taverns, warehouses, stores and small factories. The alarms are tripped by various means-metallic foil on windows, ultrasonic waves, photoelectric beams-and connected by telephone wire to a central panel...
