Perhaps the most notable part of the Kimeses' history is their habit of being around people shortly before they mysteriously disappear. The Los Angeles police want to talk to the pair about the demise of David Kazdin, 63, a longtime acquaintance and business associate of Sante Kimes' who was found shot to death in a Dumpster near Los Angeles International airport in March. Police suspect the Kimeses may have fraudulently obtained a $260,000 loan on property listed in his name. And Bahamian police have unanswered questions about the death of banker Syed Bilal Ahmed, who vanished in Nassau...
BELFAST, Northern Ireland: Perhaps the habit of violence can be changed after all. With the standoff in Portadown ready to turn into a massive weekend eruption, Protestant would-be marchers and the Catholic residents they would march past were talking Friday -- through intermediaries -- about a compromise.

Bass's theme, however--humanity as a curse on nature--isn't quite realized in the unlikely person of a ruthless oil prospector called Old Dudley. And the author's habit of delivering long, italic nature lectures is windy self-indulgence. The dust jacket should bear a sign: EDITOR NEEDED, APPLY WITHIN...
...move isn't risk-free, of course. AT&T has a habit of buying things just to keep up with the Joneses. It swallowed NCR to get into computers, which was a disaster. But Kadlec says the TCI purchase simply extends the company in a natural direction -- allowing it to re-enter the lucrative local phone market that it once dominated. "AT&T has finally solved a strategic problem that brought down its last two CEOs," said Kadlec. Whatever happens, TCI stockholders ought to be happy today: Shares jumped another $4 to $42 on Wednesday's confirmation of the deal...
