He loved good wine and reveled in witty company-and indulged himself in both by throwing Saturday-night stag dinners for a few selected friends. A towering figure who stood well over 6 ft. tall and weighed more than 200 Ibs., he prided himself on the fact that "I am in excellent health...
Aspen is assembled by Phyllis Johnson, who once taught at a mission school on a Navajo reservation and later was intimate-apparel editor of Women's Wear Daily. She got the idea for her project while ski-bumming one winter at Aspen; her fellow vacationers, she felt, were ready to enjoy "culture along with play."

Scorning what he calls the gravedigger school of archaeology, Braidwood says: "I've never had much...
...Syrian border in a Turkish truck; then he went to Turkey and walked across the border into Soviet Armenia. In The Spy I Married, his American third wife, Eleanor, who later joined him for a time in Moscow until he threw her over for the wife of his fellow defector, Donald Maclean, has a different version: she says he told her that "he walked a good deal of the way." E. H. Cookridge, Philby's onetime colleague in the British Secret Service, who is now a multivolume espionage historian, provides an account that rings with spooky authenticity in some...
