Donald Metcalf, 27, was fifteen minutes late, thus delaying his grandmoth- er's funeral and keeping the other mourners waiting. Near the end of the ceremony, the reverand said, Look around.

While the debate over handguns continued to rage in the United States, Japan was talking about banning another deadly weapon. In August, two businessmen were arguing over a parking place.

A seven-year-old boy from Thousand Oaks, Calif., a three-year-old girl from Yorktown Heights, N.Y. and a ten- year-old beagle from Philadelphia were among the recipients. On the fifth anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, Memphis newspa- pers ran an ad offering Elvis' official autopsy table for sale.
