said. The collapse in the Croissant & Co. shop in the ground floor of
the Upper West Side hotel on Broadway between 73rd and 74th

director of the Emergency Medical Services. Two people w ere taken to
Roosevelt-St. Luke’s Medical Center and 10 were treated at the scene,
Doyle said.
NEW YORK (AP): Sperm bank faces lawsuit in mix-up.
The sperm bank accused in an alleged racial mix-up faces a separate
lawsuit by a couple alleging it threw away the sperm of a man about
to undergo treatment for testicular cancer, according to a published
report. Idant Laboratories was sued by Gasper and Catherine
Mastrobuoni last year after the sperm was thrown out because of a
billing mix-up, the Daily News reported in its Sunday editions. “I was
devastated when I found out they destroyed my husband’s sperm,"
Mrs. Mastrobuoni told the News. “It was our only chance for having a
child.” Idant is accused in another lawsuit filed last week of providing
the wrong semen to a white woman who later bore a black child.

HEBBURN, England (AP): Thieves lift 153,000 snails.
Police said Monday they are investigating the theft of 153,000 snails

activists may have been behind the theft of the snails from Organic
Delicatessen International in the northeastern town of Hebburn.
Police said the snails disappeared sometime between Wednesday and
Friday, and that slogans were found written on walls of the premises.
There were some sort of animal rights slogans, but we don’t know for
sure," said a spokeswoman for Northumbrian police. “We’re
investigating the matter.”
