Holy Day
For adherents of the Bahai faith, today is one of the most important religious holidays of the year, commemorating the martyrdom of the Bab. The Bab, a young man considered the forerunner of the faith, was executed in Persia this day in 1850. . . . The holiday is one of nine on which Bahais are urged to stay home from work, said Barbara Cramer of Glendale, home of 64 registered Bahais.
New Ground
The Walt Disney Co. is branching out with non-theme park development projects like Celebration, a master-planned community in Florida with 8,000 homes, a school and offices (D1). . . . All homes will be wired with fiber optics--presumably to allow computer users to tap into Disney’s online sites more easily.
