BOSTON -- Physicians have apparently ruled out a seizure or other neurological disorder as the cause of star center Marcus Camby's collapse Sunday, and they were concentrating on tests of his heart and blood vessels in search of some elusive cardiovascular problem.Team doctor Daniel Clapp said the tests might include invasive procedures, such as angiography or snipping a piece of his heart muscle."We're still without an answer that's medically honest," Clapp said.

One might say that Ann Clapp is endeavoring to defy the words of Thomas Wolfe and has indeed gone home. Two years ago, Ann and her husband Harvey, who's in the gas drilling business in Turkey, sold the Cafe des Artistes to Henry Lubet and Chef John Paul Pessaint. And although business seemed to be going well, Lubet and Pessaint recently gave up the restaurant and moved back to Washington. So Ann came back to run her restaurant with Chef Claude Chauvin. Chauvin has owned several restaurants, Voila in Frederick and, believe it or not, a Florida restaurant named Cafe des Artistes -- no relation.

Shoppers and diners alike called the rare Saturday opening of the Woman's Industrial Exchange yesterday a treat that should be repeated. "I don't get here as often as I like," said Elsa Collins of Baltimore, whose granddaughter will soon be getting a pale pink smock. "They have good prices for handwork. Smocking is a real skill that few people have time to do." Soft, fuzzy bunnies, colorful flowers and Easter eggs lured strollers along North Charles Street into the gift shop and lunchroom.

Harvey Clapp may have been just the sort of fan the Washington Bullets had in mind when they added their two newest players.The Baltimore-bred securities lawyer avidly followed the NBA team when it was the Baltimore Bullets, from 1963 to 1973, but his enthusiasm waned when it left town and lost its winning ways.With the addition last week of Rookie of the Year Chris Webber and No. 1 draft pick Juwan Howard, and the possibility the team could end the season in something other than the cellar, interest in the franchise has gotten a big boost among its twin-city fan base.
