...Says Pass: "American jam isn't necessarily Welch's anymore. We're going back to small artisans. We get foie gras from the Catskills now. Years ago, I crried Stilton, Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Danish blue cheeses. Now I stock about 15 blues, and two are American. I have 20 ch??vres, four from the Northeast and two from the West...
Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev talked in Geneva through more complex lattices. They sat by the fire in the Ch??teau Fleur d'Eau and interpreted the world for each other through their distinctive mental grids--different societies, different interests, minds formed by different histories.

Advancemen have arranged for Gorbachev to be driven to the back of the house just before 10 a.m. Reagan will be waiting on a flight of gray stone steps leading to the rear portico, hand outstretched for a historic shake. After a brief get-acquainted session, the President and General Secretary, each accompanied by seven aides and a translator, will confer until noon, return to their residences for lunch, and meet again from...
