...fetch $15,000 at New York's Parke-Bernet Galleries later this month. The spoons have sculptured knops at the end of their handles, portraying the saints. Each Apostle bears his symbol, or the tools of his martyrdom: St. John holds a cup symbolic of the poisoned wine he was ordered to drink; St. Bartholomew is shown with a knife to signify his being flayed alive; St. Simon carries the saw that sundered him in Persia...

Instead, for privacy's sake, she runs films in her home-"on the smooth wall of the playroom...
...ancient Greeks dreaded the sudden squalls of the wine-dark Aegean Sea, where even the mighty Odysseus was sometimes washed overboard during his voyages. Modern Greeks are less superstitious. Despite gale warnings one evening last week, Captain Emmanuel Vernikos, 50, decided not to delay the departure of the Heraklion, his 8,900-ton auto-and-passenger ferry on its scheduled thrice-weekly 190-mile crossing from the Cretan city of Canea to Piraeus, Athens' port on the Greek mainland...
