...worst thing a parent can do when a child becomes infested is freak out. The best thing is be methodical. Deal with the child's scalp first, then launder sheets, pillowcases and towels, using high heat to dry. There is usually no need to dispose of clothes, stuffed animals, etc. Lice can live only about a day outside a scalp, so if the scalp is louse free, chances are the environment will be too. Unfortunately, any nits that remain can reinfect a child in a matter of days. Thus the importance of careful nitpicking (more on that later...

...investigation began after authorities in Cartagena, Colombia, seized 386 kg of cocaine hidden inside containers of frozen fish shipped by a company with a distribution center in Atlanta. Drug agents subsequently opened their phony office and offered to launder funds for suspected traffickers. As it played out, agents picked up drug funds in gym bags, luggage and boxes on the streets of such cities as New York, Dallas, Madrid and Rome. Then, with the help of black-market money changers in Colombia, the dollars were converted into pesos and deposited into the traffickers' Colombian accounts. But much to the dismay...
...according to Allison, Frankel lived quite openly throughout much of his winding journey. He had gone from his Greenwich, Conn., mansion, where police found smoldering file cabinets and incriminating documents (item No. 1 on his to-do list: launder money), to a White Plains, N.Y., airfield, where a private jet flew him and two women, Mona Kim and Jackie Ju, to Rome, along with 25 suitcases and that stash of diamonds. Then he jaunted through Italy and Germany in chauffeured limousines, steadfastly maintaining to whoever would listen that his case was a misunderstanding that would blow over...
