HOUSING. The average cost of a home reached $25,900 compared with $24,200 a year ago. In San Francisco, for example, the price of a home climbed 12% in twelve months.

Seeking shelter from a storm, the beggars are transported to the 14th century, where a heretical sect seeks salvation through orgy. At an inn, a priest (Francois Maistre) defines the dogma of transubstantiation-and then is carried off by a pair of asylum attendants...
