Patricia Smith, called one of Boston's most intriguing women just six months ago, is in disgrace, her brilliant journalism career perhaps over, after being caught fabricating quotes and characters in her Boston Globe columns; she was only black female columnist at major Boston newspaper, and many readers valued her columns championing blacks, Hispanic residents, poor, women, gay men and lesbians, AIDS patients and others; friend of Smith's says her poetic habits of mind may have contributed to her willingness to blur lines of truth; meanwhile, Prof Alan Dershowitz is questioning why Mike Barnicle, another Globe columnist whose credibility has been questioned, is not coming under same scrutiny Smith did; suggests double standard at Globe based on race, gender and ethnicity; photo (M)

Valhi Inc., a holding company with stakes in chemical, waste management and metal parts companies, said yesterday that it had bought 43.8 percent of the Tremont Corporation from the parent of both companies for about $165 million, raising its ownership in the fourth-largest maker of white pigments. Valhi paid $56 a share for 2.9 million Tremont shares from the closely held Contran Corporation, which owns 93 percent of the Dallas-based Valhi. The purchase increases Valhi's stake in NL Industries, the fourth-largest maker of titanium dioxide, from 57 percent to 75 percent because of the Denver-based Tremont's stake in NL. The Texas billionaire Harold C. Simmons owns controlling stakes in Contran, Valhi, NL Industries and Tremont.
