BILL FRIST, a Republican chal-
lenging U.S. Sen. Jim Sasser in
Tennessee this fall, revealed in a
1989 book that, while a Harvard
medical student in the 1970s, he

during that time said Frist violated
al least three state and federal laws
with his scheme.

The Associated Press reported in
September on Ray Barnes's new
Baltimore enterprise — a service to
clean up bloodstained death scenes
after police investigators have fin-
ished their work.

Bames and his wife use a vari-
ety of sponges, mops and air fresh-
eners, including an enzyme that
digests blood, but sometimes they
have to tear out carpeting and wall-
paper if they can’t clean them.

Barnes reports business is good,
even at fees of $200 and up: “I
don’t know too many people who
would want to go in and clean up
the remains of their loved ones.”
