...dream of a culinary life in which you step outside your kitchen door to snip some fresh herbs while making a meal but are instead stuck with slimy supermarket packets in an apartment kitchen, the new AEROGROW AEROGARDEN is here to help. This "aeroponic" system--a sort of electronic hydroponic garden, in which the roots of plants grow in water without soil--makes even the darkest kitchen counter a fertile plain. Using the AeroGarden is foolproof: plug it in, fill the basin with water, pop in the seedpods and watch things grow. The unit has a lighting system that cycles...

After the eclipse of Calvinist Puritanism, whose respect for money was counterbalanced by a horror of worldliness, much of Protestantism quietly adopted the idea that "you don't have to give up the American Dream. You just see it as a sign of God's blessing," says Edith Blumhofer, director of Wheaton College's Center for the Study of American Evangelicals.
