HOUSTON -- West Virginia lost one, until it turned up one June day on a bookshelf in the basement of a retired dentist. New York has one in a vault at a museum in Albany, but another one given to the state for safekeeping was not kept very safe, because it appears to be missing, though the attorney general's office has started looking into the case. A long-lost one in Colorado resurfaced at the home of a former governor, and another one in Arkansas was found among former President Bill Clinton's memorabilia. Somebody swiped one from a museum in the island country of Malta, and somebody else who got his hands on one in Honduras tried to sell it in Miami to an undercover federal agent.

Earlier this year, he once again had bad news: yet another cavity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Far west suburban Yorkville scarcely looks as if it was once one of America's hottest boomtowns. In some subdivisions, lots for big homes are patches of scrub grass and rocky soil. Weeds crawl up around some curbs. A mere handful of houses dot the barren landscape. ''This was going to be the place to be,'' said Jay Waldvogel, a dentist who is one of the tiny number of residents in a lonesome neighborhood of Yorkville, the seat of Kendall County, about 50 miles southwest of the Loop. ''And now it's dead.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

THE marketing pitch came by e-mail: Would you like to make an appointment with your dentist to have your teeth cleaned? And while you're at it, how about recommending him to a friend, or posting a review of your dental care? I had given my e-mail address and mobile phone number to my dentist's office a couple of years ago, for those rare occasions when he might need to communicate with me. Now, here I was receiving what I deemed unwanted promotional e-mail -- and a text message -- about the dentist's services via Demandforce, a firm in San Francisco that handles customer communications for some 11,000 small business including dentists, spas and automotive shops. (Demandforce describes such messages as appointment reminders.) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

THE unique development of one West Side block produced an unusual pair of near-twin buildings. But no matter how far out the windows they stretch, the residents of the Evanston, at 90th and West End, will never be able to see the facade of its mate, the Admaston, at 89th and Broadway. After the Civil War, big things were expected of Broadway on the Upper West Side. But exactly what things no one quite knew, and most owners held their properties off the market. Thomas W. Evans was one of these, purchasing the entire block from Broadway to West End, from 89th to 90th, in 1873. Dr. Evans, a dentist practicing in Paris, had become rich while tending to the teeth of Emperor Napoleon III. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BOSTON -- Catherine Greig, a former dental hygienist, is thin and blond with ''well-kept teeth'' -- or at least she was before she went on the lam. Now the F.B.I. is hoping the public will provide more help finding her so it can solve a case that has stumped the agency and fixated Boston for years.

Mr. Bulger fled with her in 1995 and has yet to be found, despite a $2 million reward.
