Children are warned with a wry grin that they should move quickly and often lest they find themselves under a I veneer of autumn-shaded oil paint, thus becoming one with the art. But in the de Pierro house, being part of the art is most of the fun. Michael de Pierro. a longtime Brighton resident, civic activist and ar chitect, is the man behind the art.

The house doubles as a studio and gallery. de Pierro sculpts with wood and paints in the basement, which is littered with the remnants of sculptures long since removed from the public eye. de Pierro, now 46, has been drawing PHOTO SY ZAP.A TZANEV since about age 4 and is a self-taught Brighton nrtlst/lllustrator/ sculptor Mlchael de Pierro poses with a series of busts In his living room, which also doubles as his own gallery space. artist.

Airing every day from 4 to 5 p.m. on 89.7 WGBH public radio, Woolf and his team at 'The World" bring global news to life with on-the-scene reports, interviews and features from the planet's hot spots. With correspondents alternate ly deployed in Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, China and many other countries, 'The World" gets world news while it is still new and makes it comprehensible for Americans across the country. "You don't want to use all the acronyms of professional pun dits and politicians," said Woolf, a baby-faced Brit, now of All ston, bearing the title of news ed itor for 'The World." The show is now broadcast on 146 stations - more than 30 of those picked up since Sept 11 , 2001-and has nearly 2 million listeners. Woolf manages a bevy of WGBH, British Broadcasting Corporation and Public Radio International reporters, deployed around the globe, from WGBH's Allston-Brighton studios on Western Avenue, a job that he says keeps him up nights. Woolf said he "lost a lot of sleep" when correspondent Richard Engel was braving Baghdad for 'The World" in the days leading up to war with Iraq. "We got him in and it was my decision.
