Amid the frenzy, a cottage industry of fungus busters, mold lawyers and support groups is growing. On June 4 a jury found that Farmers Insurance should pay Melinda Ballard of Dripping Springs, Texas, $32 million for mold damage to her 22-room, hilltop mansion and for her ensuing mental anguish. In May the Delaware Supreme Court upheld a $1 million jury award to Elizabeth Stroot of Wilmington, Del., who claimed that moldy water leaking into the bathroom of her apartment aggravated her asthma and caused cognitive disorders...
...LISA ("LEFT EYE") LOPES say love is gunshots and fire, and Bette Midler be damned. After an eight-year, on-again off-again relationship that's seen Rison shoot a gun in the air after a fight with Lopes and Lopes accidentally burn down the couple's $1.5 million mansion after a fight with Rison, America's supreme fun-loving duo is finally getting hitched.

Splurging, they can build an adobe mansion with a hot tub and a view of the sea for $80,000. A local doctor makes house calls for less than $20; prescription drugs often cost less than a third of their price in the U.S.--and for serious medical problems, a U.S. hospital is a three-hour drive away. At twilight, the dune buggies...
...president’s mansion on Elmwood Avenue is far away from campus, in order to shield him from the roguish mobery of student vigilantes, a danger that admittedly did not go away when the Vietnam War did. The president’s house is on a small sidestreet off of Upper Brattle Street, appropriately nicknamed Tory Row since the palaces there were the homes of those sympathetic to the crown in the battle for American Independence two centuries ago. Those were not brave spirits. Those were cool considerate men of moderation and caution. Sellouts of their day. The president...
