...penniless by the Communard uprising of 1871 in Paris, seeking refuge in a remote village in Jutland on Denmark's northern coast. If there is something unusual in her bearing, its source -- an extraordinary talent -- is not hinted at. For 14 years she toils unpaid, uncomplaining, almost unspeaking, as cook and servant for the spinster sisters Martina (Birgitte Federspiel) and Philippa (Bodil Kjer), who give her shelter...

New York City Mayor Edward Koch was so horrified by the J.A.M.A. account that he asked the Justice Department to investigate.

Before the group descends, Hai recites the tunnel dwellers' motto: "When you walk without footmarks, when you talk without a sound, when you cook without smoke, that is how you survive." After a few -- interminable -- minutes most visitors are eager for a peek at the sky. "I see the light at the end of the tunnel," says Kevin McKiernan, 43, of Santa Barbara, sardonically echoing the phrase from two decades earlier that became a derisive...
