...Duration. At a ghetto garden in Portland that helps feed some 300 people, she cooed over a twelve-year-old farmer's collard greens and admitted that if she lived there, "I would be out every day with my little hoe-gardening is my favorite hobby." She tickled a toddler at a day care facility for children of farm laborers in Forest Grove, Ore. She encouraged teen-age weight lifters at a community center near the Watts ghetto with a little of her own body English...
From now on, Chaban-Delmas can do his jogging in the larger garden of the Hôtel de Matignon, traditional home of France's Premiers.

Nor is the northwestern shore of Lake Michigan the Garden of Eden it appears to the two children, pretending like every young couple to be the only, the original man and woman on earth. After lyrically celebrating the pleasures of lovemaking, Woiwode begins softly terrorizing paradise. Ghostly presences appear progressively more foreboding: the stuffed animals on the wall, the mice in the piano, night tappings...
