...look, Jack Gauthier swam the butterfly, but during the dual meet season, he also swam the 200. And Mike Coglin; he was in the 400 individual medley, but he can churn out a decent 200 himself. Mack is ready to swim, and Hackett isn't feeling well, but he's game to give them...

The author of Saving the Queen and Stained Glass is going to Rougemont, Switzerland, and has set aside five weeks to churn out another thriller. Après-ski and pre-harpsichord practice, Buckley, 52, plans to produce 1,500 words a day. Why the regimen? "The 20th century notion that you should stare at the ceiling until the afflatus [inspiration] hits you is self-indulgent," harrumphs Buckley, who does admit to slight concern about having no plot...
