DIED. WARREN LERUTH, 72, chef who created salad dressings, including Green Goddess, for Seven Seas, and French-style recipes, like oyster-artichoke soup, that became New Orleans staples; in New Orleans. His restaurant, LeRuth's, was the only one in that city to win a five-star Mobil rating five years...
...have told TIME that in the 10 days before Sept. 11, Atta received at least two wire transfers of money from a man investigators have linked with bin Laden. But the last days weren't all business. On Sept. 7, Atta, Al-Shehhi and another man visited Shuckum's Oyster Bar and Grill in Hollywood, Fla.

Hollywood, Fla., is an overlooked burg outshone by Miami on one side and Fort Lauderdale on the other, trying to grab some limelight with a string of sushi and blues restaurants.

The yard was overgrown with tall grass, and if you weren't careful you might fall into the small, empty cracked-concrete swimming pool. A path led down to Charles Creek, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay. There was a ramshackle dock with many...
HEAVY METAL Calcium supplements may be delivering more than you bargained for. A study of 22 brands shows that fully one-third contain detectable levels of lead. Making matters worse, the contamination was not restricted to one type of calcium, such as that derived from oyster shells, or to one manufacturer, because lead levels in the same brand varied from lot to lot. To be hurt by the lead, you would have to consume high doses of calcium over many years, so researchers don't suggest you stop taking the pills. But they do call on the industry...
