   About ten months ago there was a rumor in the stock market that
PepsiCo had bought RH&B to make it into a national chain.
   I think it started here in the DC area, in Rosslyn first.  I believe
that Lee Atwater, head of GOP at the time and some of his political
buddies right here in town started the whole thing.
   There was an article about RH&B or Lee Atwater in the Washington
Post Magazine about 6 months back.
