MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A Memphis attorney bit off part of a man's nose during a fight in a restaurant bathroom. A lawsuit filed by Greg Herbers claims attorney Mark Lambert attacked him last June after Herbers asked two men in a bathroom stall to get out so that he could use it.
The suit states that Lambert was at a urinal and had been carrying on a conversation with the men in the stall. Herbers claims Lambert pushed and grabbed him and bit off and swallowed part of his nose.
Lambert told WMC-TV he did bite off part of Herbers' nose, but spit it out. He claims he acted in self defense after Herbers assaulted him.

On the platform of Shinagawa station a salaryman checks his watch and strolls through the brightly lit door of QB Net.

Across the country, battle lines are being drawn between innovators and Luddites — or slow and pricey against cheap and quick. Ultimately, say local government officials, the fate of the modern gents’ haircut in Japan hangs on the complex legal status of a shampoo and rinse.
