...everything else. Her small home in Baghdad's working-class al-Ghadeer district is filthy; the rooms are damp and smell of rotting garbage. Her pets, a mangy brown pup and two molting cats, have shed clumps of fur on her bed, an old foam mattress on the living-room floor. There are pieces of stale bread everywhere. But the squalor doesn't seem to bother Nouman. She has lived in much worse places - a succession of prison cells, torture chambers and mental-hospital wards. Her living room may be fetid, but it is home, and she's free. "Nobody...
...moved into their home eight months ago. Cisco Systems, which is participating in this and other Internet home projects around the globe, says they were the first people in the world to actually live in one. Fittingly, they decorated their futuristic flat in whites, creams and light pine to achieve, according to Raymond, "something a bit Zen." Both love the living-room entertainment center. They watch videos downloaded via a broadband Internet connection on a 42-in. (107-cm) flat-panel plasma screen, and use a wireless keyboard to operate the remote, surf the Net and dim the lights...

On NBC, the Hallmark production of Maxwell Anderson's Winterset proved that the living-room screen can be an embarrassing setting for characters who speak stilted blank verse (with Hamlet echoes) and live amid the topical excitement of another decade. Playhouse go (CBS) chose to grapple with second-rate Shaw, and even an excellent cast-Robert Morley, Claire Bloom, Siobhan McKenna-could not cram the rapid-fire sex and social relations of Misalliance into a really meaningful hour and a half...
...smoky Virginia hills near Washington, Chet Bowles has a white frame house, his own brook, a big swimming pool. There live his second wife, "Steb," a former social worker whom he married in 1934, two daughters, a son, two spaniels, four Persian cats. In the evenings he likes to sprawl on the living-room rug, surrounded by his family, with a cocktail and the afternoon papers. On mild weekends, he likes to have family picnics, with a bountiful supply of hot dogs and cold milk...
