...began my journey by following Dr. Houston's instruction to imagine myself lying in a boat on a wonderfully hot, languid July afternoon, lazily floating past meadows lush with trees and flowers, the whole scene suffused with silence and peace and the prospect of wonderful things to come. I was completely conscious of the chair in which I sat, of the room and its surroundings and of Dr. Houston, but at the same time the experience of being in that boat was as vivid as if I were in a waking dream.

It lay in a countryside of desert valleys in central Utah that 150 million years ago was a lush tropical shore along an inland sea, inhabited by huge flesh-eating dinosaurs.

...started as a save-a-castle plan. Built in the 16th century in the lush lowlands 30 miles west of Paris, the château has long claimed a treasury of priceless furniture, rare tapestries and a collection of 60,000 documents and letters from kings, ministers and literary figures. Chopin's piano-a gift from George Sand-graced the gilded music room; the original manuscripts of two unpublished Chopin waltzes were discovered in a linen closet...
