THE NEWS in brief
BOGOTA, Colombia - A U.S. scientist who was held in captivity for 11 months by suspected leftist guerrillas has been freed, a representative for his company said Tuesday.
Abducted U.S. scientist released in Colombia
Thomas Hargrove of Rotan, Texas was released Monday in good health, said a spokesman for the International Center for Tropical Agriculture in the southwestern city of Cali, Colombia.
"He is thin, but no more than that," Fernando Alvarracan said.
Hargrove was undergoing tests at a Cali hospital,
he said.
He was abducted in September at a roadblock near Cali by 15 men in uniform. Rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia operate in the area, and often carry out kidnappings.
It was not known if ransom was paid for Hargrove's release.
Hargrove, an agricultural scientist, began working at the agricultural center in Cali in January 1993. The center researches environmental farming methods and ways to increase crop production.
Jerry Garcia's widow receives one-third of estate
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — Jerry Garcia's widow will get the largest single share of his estate, including his art and comic book collection.
Under the terms of his 16-page will, signed in 1994 and filed on Friday in Marin County Superior Court, Deborah Koons Garcia will get one-third of his estate, including many of the Grateful Dead guitarist's personal belongings.
Most of the balance goes to Garcia's brother, Clifford, Garcia's four daughters from previous relationships and the daughter of a former wife. Garcia died Aug. 9 at a drug rehabilitation center at age 53.
The value of the estate was not specified in the will. The Grateful Dead has been one of the nation's most popular concert acts for years, grossing more than $50 million in ticket sales last year.
Garcia's five-bedroom home on 10 acres in Nicasio was on the market for $2 million before his death.
Blocks of ice, swimming pools enlisted to cool Tokyo heat
TOKYO — The mercury topped 86 degrees in Tokyo for the 32nd straight day Wednesday, breaking a 101-year old record.
Heatstroke and sunstroke have claimed a record number of victims since the heat wave started, the Kyodo News Service said. According to the Tokyo Fire Defense Agency, three people have died since July 24 and hundreds more have been hospitalized for heat-related
problems.
The prolonged hot spell, which began soon after the annual rainy season lifted in late July is not expected to end anytime soon, the Central Meteorological Agency said.

Parched Tokyo residents struggling to keep cool have been flocking to public swimming pools, which have set out large blocks of ice cut into the shape of chairs for children to sit on.
