...there looks up. He is of indeterminate age but clearly senior bearing. He smiles slightly, then turns down the volume of an old radio that is playing a familiar fragment from Mouret's Symphony and Fanfare for the King's Supper. He crosses his legs, letting the toe of his bench-made oxford dangle a little above the floor and occasionally-at moments of infrequent agitation-allowing it to graze the surface of the carpet underfoot...
When Brenda Sanchez of Fremont, Calif., came home from a local grocery store last summer, her son noticed a package of Soft 'n' Pretty toilet tissue with a ticket for a promotional game called Scott Cash. As he scraped away the silver coating over a tic-tac-toe grid, he discovered that he had won $1,000.

Experts quickly uncovered a 990-lb. life-size bronze figure of a warrior. Near by they found a second bronze of similar heft...
...mental age of a twelve-to 18-month-old child. This glum report is disputed by Jane Hoyt, 36, a self-styled nursing-home reformer who befriended Siebert four years ago. She says that the stricken woman can mouth the Lord's Prayer and play tic-tac-toe, and she insists that Siebert is progressing. Incensed by the August agreement, Hoyt obtained a temporary restraining order that directs St. Mary's to keep Siebert alive until State Judge Lindsay Arthur can resolve the dispute...
