...have been one of the many who were committed not because they were insane, but because they were inconvenient," O'Connor wrote in an email to Maisel. Last August, O'Connor claimed Winterburn's remains in their canister, which now sits in her study at home in Grant's Pass, Oregon.

The average price-rent ratio for the 54 metro areas Economy.com broke out was 19.8 for the three months through September, a couple of points higher than the 15-year average of 17.7 but significantly lower than where the ratio stood three years ago, 24.4.

Inside the MindTo have coffee with Lily (a pseudonym), you wouldn't get much sense of how she has suffered. She is 40 but could pass for 30. She has blue eyes and long blond hair that falls across her shoulders in slightly curly tendrils.
