NEW YORK -- No fewer than 11 purveyors of stained glass exhibited their wares at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, but 10 of them could have saved themselves the bother of setting up on the South Side fairgrounds.Seekers of beauty hurried to a chapel-like room that had been designed by a brilliant, shrewd artist as a showplace for his transcendently beautiful stained-glass windows and intricate mosaics. It was a fantasy chamber that combined Romanesque and Byzantine styles, and it was filled with the kind of decorative objects -- candlesticks, vases, bowls and so on -- that a rising middle class was eager to acquire.

HAVRE DE GRACE -- It is the interminable summer of teen-age ennui.It will be followed, as always, by the autumn of teen-age ennui, and then the winter, the spring, and so forth.

"Down there, the car at the light," one of the spotters yelled toward a customer. This scene isn't from 1991, when 6-year-old Tiffany Smith, playing with a doll, was struck in the head by a stray bullet fired during a shootout between rival drug dealers, the start of a decade of drug violence from which the city has yet to recover.
