Once they had recruited the right people, they needed the right message, and here it was the Democrats who thought they had the upper hand. On July 19, Frist's committee hosted a retreat for donors at the West Virginia resort Greenbrier. That day alone, the stock market slid 390 points; the White House was bracing for the mid-August restatement of corporate income, which was expected to increase pressure on Bush to crack down on the kind of people who had assembled at the resort. "It felt like a funeral," recalls Bainwol. Democrats were calling for the scalp...
Cooking classes for youngsters are now available across the country--in cookware stores, at cooking schools, in your home. "Children know much more about food than they did 10 years ago," says Riki Senn, the cooking-school coordinator at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulfur Springs, W.Va.

On that day in March, Cameron, along with 1,200 or so of his classmates, was lined up in the school parking...
...Mount Weather, a bunker near Berryville, Va., code-named "High Point" (see "Doomsday Hideaway," TIME, Dec. 9, 1991). Airborne command posts and reinforced communications ships stood by to receive the Commander in Chief and his advisers. Congress had its own top-secret relocation center buried beneath the Greenbrier, a five-star resort in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Outfitted with its own Senate and House chambers, as well as a vast hall for joint sessions, the facility was code-named "Casper," and only half a dozen members of Congress knew it existed...
