...from a poor family in Mansfield, Ohio ("I grew up on peanut butter sandwiches"), and worked as a beautician to send herself to Ohio State University. There she became May Queen, having previously been Miss Mansfield and Miss Talent and Congeniality. She is a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. She is inventively kind to her husband Charles, a shy, bespectacled attorney who acts as a lawyer for several of the Miami Dolphins football players. She dotes on her daughters, Laura, 11, and Michelle, 7, but firmly makes them wash the dishes and sort the laundry. She greets the world...
Marabel went to Miami on a vacation, stayed on to work for the Campus Crusade for Christ, and met Law Student Charles Morgan Jr. When he graduated in 1964, they married and moved to New York for a year. Says Marabel: "I played wife. It was fun cooking, having the apartment, folding his shirts, doing my little fairy tale stuff. Then we moved back to Miami, where he set up his practice, and he was very involved in his work, and the babies came, and ... I don't know how it happened, but I began...
...women so far trying to do anything organized for the millions of housewives is Jinx Melia, 40, who last year joined four other women in founding a national organization to give homemakers more status.

Among the organization's projects: short-term child-care...

The Guggenheim Museum's current retrospective of Ensor, more than 110 pieces, tries to present him as a modern artist, which he was not. Ensor's was a solo...
...when trying to impart lessons, what a poseur Ensor was! Every Christ he painted is trivialized by his narcissistic equation of the suffering God and the rejected artist. It is customary, at least in Belgium, to see Ensor as a man of the people. But Ensor's waterfront lumpenproletariat look just as subhuman as his judges and police officers. As a political artist, he was both strident and unfocused. The Good Judges, 1891, is a curdled parody of Daumier, without the master's swift economy of feeling. It is impossible to tell what Ensor thought about politics, except...
