  1. 'Cursed' Roman ring may be Tolkien's 'ring to rule them all'

    An <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/vyne/things-to-see-and-do/article-1355771357192/">exhibit </a>opening Tuesday at England's National Trust property The Vyne in Hampshire will feature a rather precious object &mdash; perhaps even <em>the </em>Precious, as Gollum would have it. The exhibit centers around a "cursed" Roman ring that is believed to have been the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Created in conjunction with the Tolkien Society, the exhibition's "Ring Room" will tell the fascinating story of the artifact and explore its connections to Tolkien.

  2. The Siren's Call: A horn of plenty's worth of holiday reading

    One Thanksgiving lesson most school kids probably don't receive has to do with the horn of plenty adorning festive paintings. For me it always seemed like a weird choice for carrying harvested food &mdash; what about a simple, flat-bottomed basket? But I didn't know that the horn was special. In classical myth, the horn is a symbol for several food- and wealth-related gods because, one story goes, Zeus played too roughly with a goat and broke its horn. To make amends, he promised to fill that broken horn with whatever food the animal desired.

  7. Dream home: Twin historic town houses in Federal Hill

    A pair of side-by-side brick townhouses might be two of the most lovingly restored homes in the historic neighborhood of Federal Hill. They sit off a wide, brick-lined street. Separated on the ground level by a sally port (a narrow, open passage way), each has a door painted soft gold, each features third-floor garrets and each has windows cloaked in black shutters.
