Crashes after the bangs signaled instead the unmistakable sound of storefront windows being smashed along Beale and Main streets. Moans went up that something was wrong.

Some affordable-housing advocates see it as an answer to the housing needs created by hurricanes. Zamore is thrilled. It's "high design that's affordable," he says, "not cheap...
...Immediately before her encounter with psychiatry, Rebekah Beddoe was a normal girl having a rough trot. By the time of her inspired decision three years later to take herself off her medications, she'd been diagnosed with five separate mental disorders and drugged to within an inch of her life. Heavy doses of an antipsychotic have left her a diabetic and her left arm is a canvas of self-inflicted scars. Somehow, her family remains intact. She married Jemima's father, Nigel, in the midst of her trials and the three of them are going strong. She can find...
