...Discount Records, Assistant Buyer Dennis MacDonald said that record sets are popular gifts. MacDonald added that such musicians as Brain Eno, whose record set sells for $70, is "ambient or Harvard Square type music" and sells well...
Like so many victims of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Morgan MacDonald, 27, has had his good periods and his bad as the disease runs its course. Last month officials at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Fla., pronounced him "well enough to walk," and spent three weeks looking for an extended-care facility that could handle his needs.

The answers may never be known, but the carnage remains. Readers may stay in step with the inconclusive author: "I have followed the tangled paths as far as possible and they have led me to places where...
