...Though fluoridation does not prevent all tooth decay, it reduces the number of cavities by at least one-third and as much as two-thirds. Cavities that do occur are not so deep, nor do they enlarge so fast, as those in children who have not had fluorides...
Thus there is a new breed of sailor that doesn't sail-at least not much or far. Says Dave Parker, executive vice president of the Hatteras Yacht Co.: "People who buy these yachts aren't sailors-they're landlubbers. They like to get there fast and drink long."

On the fast-growing Pacific Coast Exchange, which operates trading floors in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, the price has soared 400% from its $7,500 level in January. Last week the New York brokerage firm of Bear, Stearns & Co. became the second firm in five days...
