Dressed in Afghan clothes and with an eleven-day growth of beard covering his $8 million face, he looked a little like a young extra in a Dannon yogurt commercial. But with pluck, luck and a crew of four, Dan Rather risked not only his life but the ulcers of CBS executives to bring back some of the first detailed film accounts of the fighting between Afghan rebels and Soviet soldiers for a 27-minute segment of 60 Minutes. Rather's whispered report from a darkened mountain ledge sounded like a cross between one of Edward R. Murrow...

The fields surrounding the neat farmhouses on either side of the road are as brown as they always are in March and covered with a stubble that suggests a two-day growth of beard.

In the two years before taking up his Treasury Department post, Solomon spent full time chipping away at blocks of white oak or molding bronze in his suburban Washington studio. His style in sculpture is modern semiabstract, but in money politics his mode is classic conservative...
