...only ones enjoying a moment of levity amid the cataclysmic weather. "It's going to keep snowing in D.C. until Al Gore cries uncle," Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina wrote on Twitter. But with the snow still falling, locals took advantage of the time off to tromp through the picturesque drifts piling up on mostly vacant streets.

The prized upright piano she and Bruce bought last November sits in her bedroom, ready for the morning's hymns. And as the policemen, cadres and other details of the communist state tromp through her living room, she simply retreats to the back room and to her Bible. "I have survived this terrible thing because of my faith," she says. "I hope we can help others in China fill their spiritual void with the Saviour...
