...occasionally fragile intimacy, in which the artist is both agent and voyeur. He took this domestic introversion to an extreme--the world of work, for instance, is so thoroughly excluded from his paintings that he didn't even depict his own studio. His world was bounded by the bathroom, the breakfast room, the bedroom and the overgrown garden, its disorder of jasmine, honeysuckle and wisteria as exotically suffused with color as Fiji, though glimpsed through French windows...
...retreats. But isn't this just the latest fad of the Me generation? Twig Branch, 42, a Presbyterian insurance agent based in Charlotte, N.C., who first attended the Abbey of the Genesee last November, disagrees. "First of all," he says, "unlike est, they let you go to the bathroom. This has an authenticity to it. It was not manufactured 15 weeks ago for your consumption today. Three weeks later, it was still profound." In fact, say the sanctuaries, participants want less of the progressive offerings like Jungian theory, preferring guidance in basics such as prayer...

There was blood everywhere. With so much gunfire, a source inside says, "we didn't know if it was terrorists or not." As Chestnut and Gibson lay dying, Capitol police swarmed in, surrounded Weston, got his gun and trained theirs on his head. He was woozy...

Parents should take similar precautions when changing diapers, and diaper-age babies should not go into swimming pools. Even in wading pools, toddlers should wear a waterproof bathing-suit liner...
Termites are a homeowner's nightmare under the best of circumstances. But what Patrick saw in his bathroom ceiling that day were not just any termites. They were Formosan termites--the most voracious, aggressive and devious of over 2,000 termite species known to science. Formosan termites can chew their way through beams and plywood nine times as fast as their more laid-back cousins. Their colonies are huge, housing up to 10 million insects. They nest underground, in trees, in walls--just about anywhere there's wood and water. And they're on the move: long confined...
