...week earlier Jim and Tammy Bakker had been supervising $300,000 worth of renovations to their Gatlinburg, Tenn., home, which they bought for $148,000. Hammer in hand, Bakker greeted two TIME correspondents at the house, high above the resort town in the Great Smoky Mountains. Both Jim and Tammy vowed either to return to Fort Mill or to begin their own ministry, perhaps in California. For an hour Bakker defended himself as a "visionary" who had a "dream to build something very special for God's people." He asked, "Even if Jim and Tammy did everything we're accused...

They have no way of getting to the fast-growing suburban areas where jobs in stores, hotels, fast- food restaurants and the like go begging; public transportation out to the suburbs is often nonexistent.

And now Yves Montand, president of this year's festival jury, was announcing the award...
...House, the transplant was a last resort in a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis. CF victims produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus and other secretions that block normal lung function and interfere with digestion. Babies born with CF used to die in early childhood, but today more than half reach their early 20s, thanks to a battery of drugs that control lung infections, aid digestion and limit secretions. Still, few survive beyond the age of 30. House's lungs were "just about gone," according to his father, and for three years he had used an oxygen tank while he installed...
