There is nothing more evocative than looking at or touching an object from, or meeting someone associated with, a dramatic historical event. Simply said, it puts you there. And that has been my good fortune throughout my life when it came to people and things associated with the RMS Titanic, which sank April 15, 1912, on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York, after colliding with an iceberg off the Grand Banks. My first encounter with the Titanic came on Christmas morning in 1955, when my mother gave my father a copy of the recently published "A Night to Remember," by Baltimore-born and -raised author Walter Lord, whom I would get to know years later.

The modest yet redeeming triumph of Ghost World - director Terry Zwigoff's fiction-film debut and his first work since his soul-quaking 1995 documentary Crumb - is the offhand way it brings to the screen a streak of American dark humor that is dour, resilient and unexpectedly infectious. It's the humor not of American down-and-outers, but of various kinds of American drop-outs - the instinctive skeptic, the doubting Thomas or Thomasina, and most of all the authenticity freak who can't stand commercialism as a value or sanitized comfort as the measure of a good existence.

BOSTON -- The woman behind the microphone had changed her tune. This Enid Waldholtz wasn't a trumpeter in the marching band of the Gingrich parade. She was singing a country-western ballad of the betrayed Everywoman.No longer did the Utah congresswoman sound like the darling of the ''No Excuses'' wing of the conservative revolution. She belonged to the ''He Done Me Wrong'' choir.During a hypnotic five-hour press conference this week, the Republican whose 3-month-old daughter had been the mascot of the 104th Congress alternately sounded like a savvy lawyer and like the celebrated victim of a con artist.

WASHINGTON - Chances are, you've never heard of culturally essential Americans such as Enid Bissett, Orla Watson and Earl C. Tupper. Their genius will be on display in a new traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibition of sketches, patent illustrations and factory drawings for products that shaped the nation in profound but humble ways. Take Charles Brannock of Syracuse, N.Y., the inventor of the Brannock Device. You know it as the shoe-store gizmo that measures foot length and width.

Enid Feinberg steps into her northern Baltimore County back yard each morning hoping to catch a glimpse of deer frolicking in the woods nearby. She's delighted when they form a buffet line for the corn she sets out. When they feed, they'll also get a gentle swipe of insect repellent. Tom Reynolds has another approach toward deer - at least the ones that eat his vegetables. He kills them when he can. "They're like rats," says the Reisterstown farmer, who has a permit to shoot 10 deer a year to help protect the crops on his 70-acre spread.

Henri is a nice, intelligent 14-year-old girl whose family happens to be poor. She and her mother, Kate, have to move around a lot, lugging everything they own from place to place in battered suitcases and clumsy black trash bags. For the moment, they have nowhere to stay but in a cramped, messy shack with Kate's elderly mother, somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. As the movie begins, Henri (short for Henrietta) is just starting at a school that's also attended by upper-middle-class students.
