Begin and I walked from Holly to Aspen, arriving at my cottage just in time to greet Sadat. I led the way to the study and sat behind the desk. They took the other two chairs, facing each other across the desk. I decided to withdraw from the discussion so Begin and Sadat could address each other directly. While they talked, I took notes, and they soon refrained from talking to me or attempting to seek my opinion...
...movie map," created by the Architecture Machine Group at M.I.T., is a visual record of every road, building and tree in Aspen, Colo. It enables the viewer, or "driver," to find his way from street to street by touching the left, right or center of the screen.

Eventually, he was doing a couple of grams a day and suffering from paranoia, roller-coaster mood swings and an inability to work. "I lived my whole life for cocaine," he recalls. Tom, too, went to the clinic and made a pact. A diehard Republican, he could think of no penance worse than forking over $1,000 to Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy. A year ago he agreed that a check should be mailed if he resumed his habit. Ted Kennedy will have...
