...counting on the "chemistry" of Camp David's setting and intimacy to help make the summit succeed. Much of this would depend on the informal contacts between the parties. The three leaders' aides mixed casually over meals and drinks at Laurel Lodge. Walks through the chestnut, oak and hickory woods provided other opportunities for the kind of personal interaction that Carter hoped would contribute to the peace process...
...latest work the Princeton physicists exceeded their own expectations. The addition of four high-power "neutral beam" injectors, developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, pumped extra energy into the hot plasma, and a shrewd switch to graphite from tungsten in critical components of the torus' vacuum chamber reduced heat loss. The director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Melvin Gottlieb, is now convinced that the break-even point can be reached with Princeton's new and bigger torus, slated to begin operation...
Paint their names on a solid oak door and they could be a Wall Street law firm: Monteith & Rand. Put them on a busy street and they would scarcely be noticed: John Monteith, 29, looks like a cheery ad salesman; Suzanne Rand, 28, looks like a Cybill Shepherd with facial expressions.

A hand pump still stands proudly on a cistern. The rope hammock strung between the phi oak and the sugar maple is ragged but enduring, curving invitingly in the dusk. Hollyhocks fringe the small barn with the hayloft and the split door. The barn had been built for a new horse and buggy when Henry Ford was still considered a crank...
