(AP) Nestled inside a steep mountain grove, a tiny resort inspired by Billy Graham has sprung up, dedicated to quiet, Christian contemplation. Some might consider it heaven on earth. "You can listen to yourself think here," said Garrian McGhee, of Graham Miami, sitting on a porch overlooking foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains.

"Everybody has a smile. It makes it so peaceful." The Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove started as a dream three decades ago. Graham envisioned a retreat where Christians could study the Bible, then return to churches and workplaces to live what they learned. That dream has become reality. The Cove now boasts a conference building, two chalets for guests, facilities for youth camps, chapel and visitors center.

The purpose is to train people "so that they can win the world for Christ," said Jerry Miller, a retired Texaco vice president and the man Graham asked to come to Asheville and develop the center in 1983. "This is the legacy he wanted to have." The evangelist, now 76 and suffering from Parkinson's disease, has declined several offers to have colleges renamed in his honor, said William Martin, author of a Graham biography. "What worries him is that whatever continues in his name is not a departure from what he has preached," Martin said in an telephone interview from his home in suburban "There is some hope that he will be remembered for a long, long time." More than 7,000 people attended seminars at The Cove last year. "People come here because they have confidence in Billy Graham," said the Rev.

DNA reveals secret life NEW YORK (AP) Three years after a retired police officer was killed by a robber, his wife and two sons on Long Island discovered he had led a double life with a lover and daughter in Queens. The secret that Frank Crowe kept for 15 years finally came to light in July when a family court judge ruled in a paternity case that he was the father of the girl, the New York Post reported today. The paternity case was decided by DNA evidence in a leftover sample of Crowe's blood, the newspaper said. Anne Regan, 46, and her daughter, now 13, always knew about Crowe's other life, but kept his secret. But Crowe's widow was heartbroken.

"We were married for 27 years. We have two grown sons. We had a wonderful life," Margaret Crowe said tearfully.
