AIDS-exposed boys, family seek a more tolerant county
The Associated Press
*ARCADIA, Fla. — The Ray family said yesterday they are looking for a new home in Florida where people understand that their three AIDS-exposed hemophiliac sons are not dangerous — unlike Arcadia, where they were shunned and their house burned.
"We've had a few offers, but nothing's come through yet. We're just going to wait and see were it leads to from there." Clifford Ray said yesterday on NBC-TV's "Today Show."

Ray, his wife, Louise, and attorney Bill Earl did not specify where the family might move, following the suspicious fire that gutted their house Friday. But Earl said Dade and Sarasota counties had "enlightened" school systems.
Wherever they go, the Rays said they are not sure they can escape the fear and threats that drove them into seclusion and out of Arcadia.

Louise Ray said she could tolerate the threats the family received when her children returned to DeSoto County public school under a federal court order, but she could not take the chance a member of her family might be hurt.

"They have absolutely nothing," Earl said on ABC-TV's "Good Morning America."
mgAmar George Smith, who pulled his own children from the public school when the Rays were allowed to attend, was asked today whether he wanted the family to stay in his town.
"I don't know what their future would be here, what their job opportunities are, and that's something they'll just have to decide for themselves," he said on "Good Morning America." "I don't feel it would be to their good or ours if they did stay. I get that this is the general feeling in the town."
Fire and police officials Monday were still investigating the cause of the Friday night blaze that destroyed the Ray's wood-frame house. The family was not at home at the time. Smith said yesterday that the fire marshal's report should be ready today.

U. S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop said that the way the family was treated was tragic. "There is absolutely no reason to fear those children being in school," he said.
"The family is going on a day-to-day basis and assessing their options. Their primary concern is finding a community where there are enlightened elected officials and school officials so the boys can go to school." Earl said.
The Rays also got support from Jeanne White, mother of Indiana AIDS victim Ryan White. White said she spoke to the family after hearing that they were fighting to get their boys in school. Ryan also had to go to court to get into school in Kokomo, Ind., but was welcomed Monday as he started classes at a new high school, in Arcedia, Ind.

Misprinted stamp sale investigated
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Misprinted stamps worth thousands of dollars apiece were discovered by CIA employees who took 86 from the agency's supplies and sold them to a dealer, according to published reports.
REPORT. The CIA is investigating the nine employees for using their government positions for private profit, The Washington Post reported in today's edition.
One sheet of 400 stamps was produced when it was inadvertently reversed during printing. On the misprints, a candlestick is upside down.
The Post and The New York Times said 95 of the stamps were purchased from a McLean, Va., post office for CIA use on March 27, 1986.
The CIA employees who spotted the misprint sold 86 of them to a New York store.
Jersey dealer and evidently kept the remaining nine, the Post said. The Times said the nine were used on CIA mail before the mistake was discovered.
CIA spokeswoman Sharon Foster confirmed yesterday evening that the Bureau of Printing and Engraving was investigating the case. She declined to discuss details or possible involvement by CIA employees, but said the agency "takes seriously any allegations of misconduct."
Bill Bergstrom, office manager of Jacques C. Shiff Jr. Inc.of Ridgefell Park, N.J., the dealer that obtained the stamps, told the Post that one was recently resold for $17,600.
Bergstrom said the misprints' value ultimately could be as high as $115,000 apiece, or more than $10 million for the group of 95.
extremely valuable. In May, for example, a 1918 stamp in which the image of a Curtiss-Jenny biplane was inverted sold for $143,000 at an auction in New York City. Only 100 of the inverted biplane stamps were produced.
Major mistakes in a few copies of a single stamp make the misprints
The U.S. Postal Service is investigating three other recent cases in which secret, nearly invisible markings were added to stamp designs by engravers at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. However, postal officials say those stamps will not be nearly as valuable because all stamps in each of the three series are identical.
The Post said a bureau report obtained under the Freedom of Information Act deleted the names of the CIA employees allegedly involved in the inverted candlestick case.
