...entertainment is more homey and the style more spacious in Butterfield Country, an 8,000-acre resort area 51 miles northeast of San Diego. Throughout the mesas of the Palomar Mountains are sprinkled Butterfield's 475 campsites. A $5 rental fee gets a standard site with water and electricity. For oak trees and a sewage hookup, the fee runs $2 more. The park attempts to re-create the spirit of the Butterfield stagecoach days with hay rides, an old-fashioned swimming hole, community cookouts and country-music shows. The focal point is an old Wild West village; on Sunday...

"My son stood behind us with a big smile because he knew when we left the table...
...broadly relevant to readers in the 70 countries it now reaches, however, the Trib must be edited to seem as if it has no local base. Homey coverage is anathema to Weiss. To report on New York City's last mayoral election, for instance, he ignored the voluminous file of the New York Times and published the Washington Post's version instead; the Post reporter "told in a few stories all you needed to know about it in Neuilly or Oslo." Yet Weiss can occasionally use his own brand of enterprise. During last December's Nixon-Pompidou...
