Horrified controllers had watched the disabled aircraft drop to below 10,000 ft. and then, at 6:57 p.m., disappear from their radar screens altogether. The 747, still heading north rather than east, had plunged into a slope of 5,400-ft.-high Mount Osutaka, a pine-covered granite peak. Weighing more than 350 tons, the plane buried much of its fuselage in a steeply angled ridge at an altitude of 4,700 ft. Flames spurted into the sky as the impact ignited fuel tanks; even the metal scraps burned fiercely as the 747 sliced through the trees...
MOST PROMISING NEW DOMESTIC CHEESE American chèvre (goat cheese) has so far lacked the rich complexity of the French product. Serious efforts at the Coach Farm in Pine Plains, N.Y., are a big step in the right direction. The production is presided over by Marie-Claude Chaleix, a French cheesemaker who hopes Americans will learn to love the blue mold that indicates age and gives this white cheese its tantalizing earthiness...

In the pine-scented hill station of Maymyo (named after one Colonel May), tidy rose gardens still grace half-timbered houses with names like All in All and Fernside, and horse-drawn victorias recall a gaslighted London. The town's central clock tolls with the exact chime of Big Ben, and the local rest house, formerly the chummery, or bachelor's quarters, of the Bombay-Burma Trading Co., still serves roast beef each...
...Harriet had lighted a fire against the chill by the time the women arrived at her place to nail down September's issue. From 1915 until it closed four years ago, Harriet's place was called Young's Hotel. Built by her father John Young, it is hand-hewn pine and stucco, rough planks, notched banisters, Navajo blankets and deer heads on the walls--a set for any movie that goes by the name of Stagecoach. It had 16 rooms to let upstairs above the dusty front desk, rooms you let yourself into. "Our guests just went in the rooms...
