...abound. The Lipscombs say the child told them the foster parents won't use the name Aurora and hid the dresses they bought for Aurora; they've also allegedly belittled the vegetarian diet Paul and Sherry follow. County officials do call the child Zachary but say the youth has access to the dresses and doesn't want them. Both sides have alleged that the other hasn't provided proper medication for the child...
...immediate check of the logs kept by a media adviser showed no tape was missing. The Bush team was dumbfounded. The FBI began fingerprinting the material. It has also interviewed Bush campaign chairman Don Evans and campaign manager Joe Allbaugh and will speak to others who had access to the tapes.

What Tricon objects to is Heinecke's new franchise venture in Thailand, Chicken Treat. "As part of the Tricon family, Heinecke has access to information about KFC, and that presents some issues for us," Hearl says. "We welcome competition but not unfair competition." KFC controls more than 65% of the $110 million fast-food chicken market in Thailand. Heinecke counters that Tricon's franchisees in the U.S. and the European Union...
