...blackberry bushes, and as dormant as the volcanoes found in this Auvergne region of central France. Today, it's a different story. The village has come back to life, thanks to a sympathetic outsider who decided to build a hotel there. The property is neither a typical bed-and-breakfast nor a trendy health farm. Instead, it consists of 14 houses, which comprise the hotel's rooms and suites. The 9th century château is where you'll find the reception desk. And the beautiful cobbled streets are the hotel corridors. Guests live alongside a handful of the village...
...Salund elementary school in McLeod (pop. 50), N. Dak., Teacher Janice Herbranson, 51, has served breakfast to her three pupils. After morning lessons, she will cook lunch. At day's end, if the parents are away, she may take one of her charges home with her to spend the night. At the Lennep school near Montana's Crazy Mountains, Second-Grader Lee Cavender, 7, barges in to say that his sisters, twins who constitute the entire seventh grade, will be absent today. They turned 13 over the weekend, old enough for deer-hunting licenses, and, of course, their father...
...beef up for his role as Superman, but a new movie role he wanted to play required a leaner line. Last June, Isaacson trekked to Williamstown, Mass., where Reeve was playing in summer stock, to set up a rigorous six-day-a-week trimming program.

Sometimes Owney sleeps it off overnight in the hog house, the dressing room at the construction site. This does not please his wife Dolores, who wants to study medicine but is stuck at home with a baby. Dolores is a latter-day stereotype and one that Breslin is less sure of than he is of the guys and dolls along Queens Boulevard. Still, she is vital and feisty...
Stopping at the employee cafeteria for a morning cup of coffee, staffers at ABC's midtown Manhattan headquarters are apt to find an unlikely table mate these days: the big boss. Unlike his predecessors, new ABC President John Sias often mingles with the troops at breakfast rather than repairing to the 40th-floor executive dining room. "It's not good to use all the executive perks and ask others to cut back," says Sias, 59, a former paratrooper known for his practical jokes and the Captain Marvel T shirts he sometimes wears under his suit and tie. "It's important...
