...Beech Mountain, N.C., smack on top of an Appalachian mountain, is one of the South's largest ski areas. It could become crowded, because the developer, Carolina Caribbean Corp., plans to put about 8,500 single-family homes and 1,500 condominium units on its 7,200 acres.

...Rambouillet, 28 miles southwest of Paris, for this 19th meeting with Le Due Tho. The North Vietnamese began the quiet Sunday-morning session with a ritual demand for a political settlement, and then asked for a two-hour break. Kissinger spent the time walking through the surrounding oak and beech forests, pondering what would come next. The setting had the kind of historical cachet that delights Kissinger. It was at Rambouillet, with its 14th century chateau, once a retreat of Mary Queen of Scots, Catherine de Medicis and Henry IV, where Ernest Hemingway set up his headquarters with advance units...
