Good Hunch. That same morning, a policeman from Montgomery, Md., investigated the home of William Bradford Bishop Jr. in Bethesda, just outside of Washington, D.C. There had been no signs of life there for a week, and a worried neighbor in the close-knit community had called the police. In four bedrooms of the Bishop home and on the stairs, the policeman discovered blotchy splatters of blood. Otherwise there were no signs of forced entry or physical violence. None of the Bishops' neighbors could later recall any screams heard in the night, and none had any idea about what...
...Adolfo Sardina, 43, came to the U.S. from his native Cuba in 1956 and opened his own house in 1962 with a $10,000 loan from Bill Blass.

Somehow it all seemed a lot fresher the first time around...
Tuesday evening Joe Grimes, president of Brigham's Inc., came to Bic's to answer questions and reassure the customers. Grimes appeared tan and fit, wearing double-knit navy slacks, a brown tie and Wallabies. When this reporter and a Crimson photographer turned out to be Grimes' only listeners, the executive related and began to reminisce. He described how he first encountered "the natural thing" while working for a supermarket in California, and how he became convinced that Brigham's could develop a natural ice cream without "putting down our main product." Shaking his head sadly, he decried the recent...
