...monk's cell in a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan, is not your ordinary writer's retreat. But then TIME Contributor Pico Iyer is not your ordinary writer. For one thing, he travels a lot. For the past eight months he has used Kyoto -- either the temple or a tiny apartment in the ancient city -- as a base camp for his forays around Japan and into the Himalayas. Iyer's trips have provided grist for a book in progress and recent TIME stories on the Dalai Lama and Tokyo Disneyland. "I try to catch the inner stirrings...
...nothing wrong with having an American reporter in - the room. "The American and Soviet press should work together to build peace," she said. The Soviet First Lady reported that she received TIME and read it regularly. Mrs. Gorbachev is not only a reader but now also a published contributor. When she learned the magazine was preparing a story on Soviet women, she sent the editors a letter on the subject, which is printed in this issue...

Author Clarke, a TIME contributor, sorts out the nonsense, the brilliance and the bitchiness of Capote's life in what is the liveliest and rowdiest literary biography in recent memory...
Sultan was born in Asheville, N.C., in 1951 and is certainly among the more gifted American artists of his generation. But this show's catalog hums with inflated comparisons and claims. "He seems formed in the Manet mold," writes one contributor, Ian Dunlop, adducing by way of proof that Sultan, like the great Edouard, is ambitious, paints images from "modern life," looks at old master paintings, etc. Sultan does have a crush on Manet; a small still life with asparagus pays homage to Manet's famous single asparagus stalk, and a little detail of masts and sails in Manet...
