...bodies in question belongs to the recently deceased Dr. Michael Gerber, chairman of the pathology department at the Louisiana institution. The doctor was alive and nervous in September as agents from the IRS's criminal-investigation division began questioning members of his department about its finances. Gerber's associates recall his behaving erratically and constantly phoning for legal advice. Then on Oct. 12, in Tennessee, his daughter Elisa, 21, walked away from the wreck of a car she had driven into two trees. She said she had been tired. Apparently she had fallen asleep at the wheel.

And some question whether the $7,500 TurboChef ovens are worth buying when the new hot food items may bring only marginal sales increases. Microwaves work fine for breakfast sandwiches, they say.

At the prototype store, franchise partners Marvin Kaplan, Kevin Millard and Shawn Cabral say new chicken biscuits, flatbreads and pizzas account for 10% of sales. Their shop, close to popular Siesta Key Beach, is packed by 10 a.m. on weekends. It opened on Jan. 26 and is already beating sales at their other store, which is about a mile farther from the beach and brings in $1.2 million a year, according to Cabral.
