She had already visited several attorneys, and they all had given her the same lawyer's verdict: Her case was hopeless, not something they'd take on.Bailey's liver had bloated from 3 1/2 pounds to about 65 pounds. Her waist had expanded from 27 inches to 63 inches. And she blamed it on birth control pills from the company G. D. Searle & Co.Katz took a look at Bailey and then took on the drug company.

IT'S a conversation that has come up throughout my life. It goes something like this: "Where are you from?""Baltimore.""I didn't know you were a Southerner.""I'm not.""Baltimore is a Southern city, isn't it?""It's both Northern and Southern, actually. In the Civil War, the city was divided. Even families sometimes split down the middle, brother against brother."I go through the whole thing. It gets dramatic: The war tore the city in half. But the reality is, it is never easy to explain Baltimore.

Player of the YearMarcus Hatten, Mervo, Sr., G: Possibly the area's best senior, Hatten, a 6-foot-2 combination guard, was a consistent force for a young Mervo squad this season. A repeat All-City/County first-team selection, Hatten averaged 27.7 points, 12.5 assists and 9.1 rebounds for the Mustangs, who were knocked out of the Class 4A regional playoffs by Dulaney. Flashy at times, Hatten was relentless on the court -- driving to the basket, hitting long-range jumpers and grabbing rebounds, sometimes with little rest.

HILLSDALE HEIGHTS is a sliver of a city neighborhood of mostly 40-year-old custom homes overlooking the Forest Park golf course and Leakin Park. Some are straight out of House & Garden magazine, with large swimming pools and cabanas. Others are more modest. But at a time when other, similar communities are against further development, Hillsdale Height wants more houses built."We are doing this for our neighborhood -- to get the right people in," says Winfield Willis, the neighborhood association's housing chairman, who is heading efforts to build new houses on a forested hillside.
