Later that day the first tripartite session convened around the circular coffee table on the Aspen patio; it ran one hour and 40 minutes. The following morning the three leaders met for three hours in Aspen's study. By the end of the week they had met for a total of 6½ hours, but what few details were released had nothing at all to do with the subject of the talks. White House Press Secretary Jody Powell noted, for example, that Carter was "participating actively" and that "the personal relationships [of the principals] are good...
...last week the election balloon that had seemed to be nearing takeoff in Britain for most of the summer ran flat out of hot air. In a move that stunned pundits and outraged political opponents, the Prime Minister announced in a four-minute televised address to his countrymen that his minority Labor government would not call for a general election next month, as nearly everyone thought it would.

Finally last week, on the day after the Schleyer memorial services, Willy Peter Stoll's luck ran out. A woman recognized him as he sat sipping a beer in a nondescript Chinese restaurant near the Düsseldorf railroad station. She alerted the police.

There were 75 people in the audience, and they were knocked dead. And the next morning I was on a plane back to Washington, D.C., a city which, unlike Atlanta, remains undimmed by human tears. Washington, D.C., for respite, to seek mercy and mortality...
...Farber's] martyrdom," wrote Charles B. Seib, ombudsman of the Washington Post-the paper whose Watergate reporters, Woodward and Bernstein, have made more money from investigative reporting converted into books than any other journalists in history. FARBER CASE DULLS THE EDGE OF THE PRESS'S SILVER SWORD ran the headline in the Post over a column by a Pulitzer-prizewinning reporter, Haynes Johnson. Now it was Rosenthal's turn to get testy. "I wrote Johnson that his piece was the 'nadir of journalism for 30 years'-accepting what a judge had to say, never checking...
