...time was short. Dodi and Diana had an 8:30 reservation that night at Benoit, a trendy one-star restaurant near the Place des Vosges. Sometime after 9 p.m., the couple headed off to dinner. Realizing en route that their plans for a quiet meal at Benoit would be spoiled by the photographers piling up outside the restaurant, Dodi suddenly opted to return to the marbled pillars and plush carpeting of the Ritz, where hotel security could be counted on to fend off the photographers...
...miles? 26.2, to be exact, and we smile ruefully. As two New Englanders and long-time runners, the exciting and powerful tradition of the Boston Marathon has always been nearly palpable in the weeks and days leading up to the race each year. The names Bill Rodgers and Joan Benoit immediately conjure up proud historic images of trial and triumph.

Insiders say he sounds a lot like Bill Joy, Sun's fiercely independent co-founder, who holes up in a research lab in Aspen, Colorado, developing consumer devices, including the interactive gizmo that helped spawn Java...
...Acheson, the chief executive of Omega Logic, the fictional middle-size firm caught between giant Intel and the upstart VWPC. Like the real-life executive Jim Clark, who left Silicon Graphics to co-found Netscape, Acheson bails out of the hardware-manufacturing business and co-founds "Everyware Corp." with Benoit. Clark, of course, became an instant Internet multimillionaire when Netscape went public. By the end of Bronson's tale, Acheson and Benoit too are "skipping the conventional second and third round financings...and gunning straight for a public offering...
