...seek new revenues to keep their operations afloat. Some have diversified by raising other crops, such as vanilla beans. Others capitalized on the natural beauty of the area's tree-covered, gently rolling hills, and have transformed parts of their estates into upscale resorts. Starting with just 12 Tudor-style cottages and 10 hectares in 1994, the Ramapurams built Orange County Resort, named for the orange trees that grew here before a blight destroyed the orchards a dozen years ago. Today, the resort boasts 50 luxurious bungalows, each with its own fireplace, a kitchenette and a balcony that offers breathtaking...

It's part of A.B.T.'s New York City winter season (Oct. 23-Nov. 4), which also features the world premiere of Clear, the latest work by the much talked-about Australian choreographer Stanton Welch, and the company premiere of Balanchine's Symphony...
...Welty never married and lived alone - until several years ago when failing health demanded that she hire nurses and a caretaker - in the house she had occupied with her parents and siblings in the historic Belhaven section of Jackson, the state's capital. Nothing about the Tudor-styled house on the oak-canopied street alerted passersby to the status of Welty's literary existence. An oak tree planted by Welty's mother decades ago still stands in the front yard...
