...help set up the shooting. Armed with tripod and timer, the Senator went through twelve rolls of Kodak Ektachrome ASA-64 film in his 2¼-by-2¼ Hasselblad, while Mims backed him up with Kodachrome in his Nikon motordrive. As the shooting proceeded, Baker began to relax. "This is the most fun I have had in two months," he told Mims. In the end, Robert Grossman's airbrushed caricature beat out the Senator's efforts for the cover. But readers can see one well-focused result of serious self-photography on page...

His Caribbean trip last week pointed up, rather than counteracted, this impression of a President somewhat out of touch.

The evening of French farce at Adams House transforms the audience from a collection of Harvard students to sophisticated connoisseurs of savory French drama...
Inside the spa building, in a small windowless room, an uptight, burned-out, more-fat-than-fit East Coast Type A female is submitting to an herbal wrap. A cup of alfalfa-mint tea precedes mummification. She sweats to the faint chimes of "music to relax and meditate by." The East Coast Type A resents being told to relax. The ranch's resident psychotherapist, Richard ("Bud") Murphy, will later tell her, "Many people come here seeking withdrawal from something-food, a bad marriage, personal problems, smoking-but they feel ambivalent and resist change...
