Perhaps, but Bill Murray, who now runs a conservative, Christian-oriented PAC in Washington, is trying to make it his business. He filed a missing-persons report, and when he became dissatisfied with the Austin police's response, made a short-lived attempt to gain guardianship of his family's estates. Two weeks ago he appealed to Texas Governor George W. Bush to have the Texas Rangers take over the investigation.

From a tangle of 3,000 mostly ma-and-pa firms, three ambulance leaders, all based in the West, have emerged to seize 25% of the national market. American Medical Response has devoured 75 competitors Pac-Man style in four years, and now operates 1,760 ambulances in 28 states.

The group of mostly sixtysomething mothers and grandmothers, which includes conservatives offended by Helms' stand against AIDS research and their gay children, produced a harsh TV ad to chastise him for "distortions, half-truths and intolerance."
