Where The Tax Exemptions Are Now

State and local governments are cracking down on people for improperly claiming something called the homestead exemption. Take Representative Charles B. Rangel of New York, who was accused of doing just that on a home he owns in Washington, D.C.

But as the tax authorities look for cheats, they are finding that many people who are eligible for homestead exemptions fail to apply, even though the exemptions can provide valuable breaks on property taxes — the issue in Mr. Rangel’s case — as well as protection from creditors.

Dogs And Gardens Don’t Mix

DID Bertie Wooster mean to harm Barbara Geltosky in September 2008? The evidence against him is damning. For instance, the hole that Bertie, Ms. Geltosky’s 5-year-old Norwegian elkhound, dug in the garden was 12 inches across and 12 inches deep — the perfect size for a human foot.

“It was a hole I didn’t see,” said Ms. Geltosky, 59, a retired art teacher who lives with her husband in Malvern, Pa., some 20 miles west of Philadelphia. “I was getting compost when I went down. I twisted my knee badly enough to have rehab.”
