...varied reasons for home sharing often depend on age. In a study of 105 home providers conducted at the University of Kansas Life Span Institute, researchers R. Mark Mathews and Deborah Altus found that people 55 to 70 tended to value home sharing for its financial savings while the 70-and-older group prized the service and security. The older people wanted someone else in the home so that they would feel safer as well as get some help with chores.

...have almost exactly the same rate of spousal abuse as civilians of the same age and demographic profile, according to Richard Heyman of the State University of New York.

She got much more than she had bargained for, especially after Sept. 11. "It was almost a message right out of the Bible," she says. "Something within me started...
...government needed a guilty verdict for public opinion," says seven-year veteran Todd Cimino. "How else can they explain destroying an 89-year-old company? I'm here to support the company's values and its legacy." It's one that now looks for ever tarnished. --With reporting by Deborah Fowler/Houston
