...does this generation ask for a sign?" an angry Jesus asked, wondering about the hunger for miracles in his own time, though he might as well ask it of ours. Touch me, heal me, the crowds demanded of their Messiah, and so even as he went about touching and healing, he acknowledged that miracles, if produced on demand, could sabotage the faith they were meant to strengthen. For the truly faithful, no miracle is necessary; for those who must doubt, no miracle is sufficient...

Home-improvement retailers are profiting from consumers who find plumbers, contractors and electricians to be unaffordable, untrustworthy or both. Home Depot, the largest home-improvement retailer, posted record earnings of $141 million for the third quarter of 1994, a 36% increase over the same period...
