Last week, for the first time in their brief lives, Patrick and Benjamin Binder of Ulm, West Germany, lay in separate cribs. Benjamin rested next to his stuffed dog, Patrick with his teddy bear nearby. They had been parted during an operation of staggering complexity and delicacy -- five months in the planning, 22 hours in the execution, and involving 70 doctors, nurses and technicians. The procedure required draining all the blood from the boys' bodies and completely stopping their heartbeat. At week's end both were in critical but stable condition.

Eventually Lewis and his wife Julie bear their grief in different directions: she to a country cottage to live in solitude and play her violin, he no farther than the couch to numb himself with television and Scotch.

To anyone who would listen, Arguelles argued that his studies of ancient Mayan calendars showed that the "materialistic" world would end on Aug. 16 -- when three planets lined up with the new moon -- unless 144,000 true believers gathered in various "sacred sites" around the world and "resonated" sufficiently to bring on a new age of peace and harmony...
