...pilgrim will no longer have to make the 2 1/2-hour climb from the monastery, on the steep steps carved in rock by Byzantine monks who began the task in the 6th century. Unless better angels intervene, there is to be a cable car to whisk the pilgrim up the volcanic rock.

As she slings the liquid sugar onto a laundry rack with a flick of her whisk, Stewart effortlessly alternates advice ("The hot sugar can get stuck in your cats' fur.

Uniformed policemen and military counterterrorist squads...
...heart of the operation is the PTL cable network, which reaches 13.5 million households over 171 stations and until last month featured the chatty Jim and Tammy Show. On the hourlong daily program, Jim continually pleaded -- and sometimes Tammy wept through enormous fly-whisk eyelashes -- for funds to support such new projects as a home for unwed mothers and Heritage USA's $100 million re-creation of England's 1851 Crystal Palace...
