...affair with the teenage daughter of a Pentecostal minister in his district. It is the stuff of daytime soaps. The minister just happened to do landscaping work for the Levys. According to the Washington Post, while the Rev. Otis Thomas was caring for the roses by the Levys' backyard pool, Chandra's mother struck up a conversation about her daughter's friendship with the Congressman. Thomas then confided that his own daughter Jennifer, now 26, had had an affair with Condit years ago, and that it had ended badly. Susan Levy immediately called her daughter to warn her. Like many...

The backyard has become part of the home-improvement trend that market researchers call "fluffing the nest." The grill has entered the world of luxury goods, status symbols, showmanship and precision performance.
