...hiding something from others or deluding himself. Watch him in reruns of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, as an escaped mental patient who charms lonely Phyllis Thaxter in Fog Closing In, or the struggling writer fleecing an established one in Act of Faith. He's terrific in two episodes of The Twilight Zone: one as a fellow seeking a love elixir, the other as a man returning to his home town to find that no one remembers him. His face could exude menace or be blankly naive; but it wasn't what he did, it's who he became. A thing called...
...August, a wisp of flame suddenly appeared in the Arctic twilight over the Barents Sea, bathing the low clouds over the Norwegian port of Hammerfest in a spectral orange glow. With a tremendous roar, the flame bloomed over the windswept ocean and craggy gray rocks, competing for an instant with the Arctic summer's never-setting sun. The first flare-off of natural gas from the Snohvit (Snow White in Norwegian) gas field, some 90 miles (145 km) offshore, was a beacon of promise: After 25 years of false starts, planning and construction, the first Arctic industrial...
...Physically and psychologically, the town is stuck in a strange twilight between the Brezhnev-era Soviet Union and the modern European Union. In Minsk, the capital 250 miles away, the government retains the sheen of its totalitarian past. In 2006, Aleksandr Lukashenko, a Soviet-era official who claims to have been the only member of the Belarus legislature to vote against the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, was elected to his third term as president.

And the best was yet to come: as Lauren grabbed his wife, Ricky, and headed off-stage, the painted backdrop - a reproduction of a Jean-Gabriel Domergue painting, "Barbara Au Derby" - lifted to reveal the evening's real masterpiece, a twilight garden scene complete with chandeliers, fountain, waiters in white tie and clouds of hydrangea. "This is my idea of New York," Lauren said as he greeted the television crews. Indeed, like the WASP world he evokes so well in his flagship stores, the evening appeared to take a page right...
...moment, Carson, 66, is speaking to a circle of about 20 fellow ecovillagers who have gathered in the purple August twilight outside one of the community's common houses, where they've just polished off a group meal of broccoli pasta (regular, as well as wheat-free for the allergic). The 160 members of EVI eat several meals a week together, prepared by rotating teams of volunteer cooks. They share laundry machines, babysitters, organic produce, TVs (for the few who watch), even cars. If all this togetherness doesn't make EVI a commune, that's because it's potentially much...
