* In a report in the August Archives of Dermatology, a 39-year-old woman
in Cleveland complaining of bad hair was reported to have the first
adult case of "acquired uncombable hair," which produces permanently
coarse, tangled hair.  Her condition was attributed to a side-effect
of a diuretic. [Science News, Sept93]

* The Dallas Morning News reported in September that a tornado near
Saginaw, Tex., picked up James Davis's 4-lb. Yorkshire terrier and
carried it over two miles, setting it down along a road in view of a
passerby.  The dog, Sadie, suffered only minor injuries. [Dallas Morning
News, Sept93]
