Antibiotic treatment usually works fairly well in the early stages, but the suffering of a few patients with advanced Lyme disease does not respond to conventional cures. So a dangerous and unconventional therapy has come into use. Dr. Henry Heimlich of Cincinnati, known for developing the Heimlich maneuver to relieve choking, observed that Lyme disease resembles syphilis in that it is caused by a corkscrew-shaped spirochete. He knew of an outdated treatment for the late stages of syphilis in which patients were deliberately infected with malaria and then cured of it. It was believed once that malarial fevers cooked...
...debate over that tradition has heated up of late, through the exposure of a variety of sex scandals and admissions that the stricture is widely ignored. A Star Tribune newspaper poll last April, for example, revealed that one-fifth of Minnesota priests admit to violating their vows.

This week the onetime Cincinnati Reds star, who is barred from baseball for gambling, will begin filming The Babe Ruth Story, an NBC made- for-TV movie.

United Parcel Service, which moved from Manhattan to Greenwich, Conn., in 1975, announced two weeks ago that it will ship its 1,000-worker headquarters to Atlanta. UPS also considered Baltimore, Dallas and Cincinnati, then chose Atlanta, in part on the basis of cheaper housing ($68,000 for a median-priced single-family home, vs. $165,000 in southwestern Connecticut...
Tough competition calls for unfamiliar methods. Members of the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce are not the sort of people who skulk around to clandestine meetings, but the city is hungry for new business, and, by golly, they're willing to do what it takes. When a relocation consultant brought a corporate team to town to see what Greater Cincinnati could offer, the visitors insisted on complete secrecy. No problem! Eight Cincinnati corporate leaders gathered in a small club dining room to sing the praises of their town to "Bill, Bill, Bill and Mike," four strangers identified only...
