...merchandise (from T shirts and caps to margarita mix and salt shakers) and on the comfort foods and frozen concoctions sold at his Margaritaville Cafes in Key West and New Orleans (new ones will open this year in Charleston, S.C., and at the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando, Fla.). The fans have also subsidized Buffett's leap into the world of letters, buying so many of his books (children's stories, a novel, a short-story collection, and his latest, a travelogue/ memoir called A Pirate Looks at Fifty) that last month Buffett became one of only six writers...

The charge reflected an unsuccessful attempt to expand Blockbuster's sales by emphasizing music, candy and comics and moving the company to Dallas from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., at the behest of former CEO Bill Fields...
...preemies massaged three times a day for as few as five days consistently fare better than equally frail babies who don't get massages. Full-term infants and older babies also benefit from them. The International Association of Infant Massage, which held its annual conference last month in Orlando, Fla., estimates that 10,000 parents took infant-massage training last year. New converts say it helps their babies sleep better, relieves colic and helps hyperactive children relax...
