Claudine and Sabich met at a 1972 celebrity ski race in Bear Valley, Calif. Friends say Sabich built his sumptuous $250,000 timber and stone house at exclusive Starwood, three miles west of Aspen, expressly for Longet. Sabich, the son of a Placerville, Calif., cop, finished a highly respectable fifth in the slalom at the Grenoble Olympics in 1968, turned pro in 1971, and started earning big money.

...very end of "3/4 Time" Buffett does a 6-minute monologue called "God's Own Drunk," wherein the hero is guarding a still, gets overcome by temptation, takes a few slashes, commences to get hot flashes, metamorphoses into God's Own Drunk and a fearless man, then sees "The Bear...a Kodiak-looking feller, bout 19 feet tall," who rambles over and "looks me in the eyes, and mine were a lot redder than his. It hung him up." It's not enough because the spell is shattered--Buffett succumbed just once, but it's shadow of things to come...
