No psychiatrist sees tougher cases than Michael Grodin does.
One of his current patients is a Hutu woman who fled ethnic strife in
Burundi, where civil war has claimed 200,000 lives. Last spring, Tutsi
police raped her in front of her 10-year-old son after arresting her husband,

Christopher Rand never was one to be fenced in. Raised in Salisbury, Conn.,

nation's foremost portrait artists of her time.
