No Remorse. No Regrets. No Worries for Martha.

AT the headquarters of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia on West 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, the office of the founder stands empty. Hushed. Desolate. For the last four and a half months, Martha Stewart has been away on a certain kind of government-sponsored hiatus, living and working in Alderson, W.Va., serving time for her conviction on charges of lying to federal investigators about the timing of a stock trade she made in the final days of 2001.

These days, around the corridors of the company that was so famously tarnished by what she insisted on calling 'a small personal matter,' the talk is of 'homecoming' - the return on March 7 of Ms. Stewart, the founder and creative piston of a media empire constructed from pie crust, perennial beds and other ingredients of a well-ordered, if Eisenhoweresque, domestic life. When she decided to go to prison without waiting for her appeal to be heard, Ms. Stewart said the timing would mean that she would be out in time for spring planting."
