...grew up in the small town of Rincon, Ga., and retains an easygoing Southern accent. But make no mistake--Burns moves fast. Within four hours after two competitors' aircraft hit the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, Burns realized the likely effect on Delta Airlines' revenue and shifted $450 million, borrowed on lines of credit, into Delta's checking account. Just days later, Burns persuaded banks to follow through with an additional $1.2 billion in cash from a financing deal initiated on Sept...
...newfound fame, Andrew Weil finds it easy to drop completely from sight. One of the most recognizable doctors in the country lives in one of its most private corners, at the foot of the remote Rincon Mountains in southern Arizona. To get there you have to travel about 35 miles outside downtown Tucson, along progressively rutted, flood-prone roads, until an incongruously suburban sign points you to the WEIL RESIDENCE. If Weil didn't show the way, it is unlikely you'd ever stumble across the place...
...named Pacifico Castrellon and rented a three-story house in the Lima suburb of La Molina. She registered as a journalist, and her neighbors knew her only as a quiet gringa with a radiant smile. Berenson and Castrellon, Peruvian police say, were sent together to Peru to meet Miguel Rincon, second-in-command of the MRTA.

From her cotton proto-jumpsuit fashioned for riveting Rosies during World War II to 1974's "Speed Suit"-a zipperless, buttonless dress that could be pulled on in seconds-Maxwell pioneered sportswear for women that was as comfortable as it was chic, earning herself the sobriquet "the American Chanel." Maxwell's sources of inspiration were marvelously eclectic: a 1935 visit with Albert Einstein was said to have prompted her to copy his tweed jacket and add two skirts, a pair of pants and an extra jacket to create her classic...
...Beach Boys sang in their 1963 hit Surfin' U.S.A., "If everybody had an ocean/ Across the U.S.A./ Then everybody'd be surfin'/ Like Ca-li-for-ni-a." Beach Boy Bruce Johnston, 44, whose group celebrates its silver anniversary this year, bought a house near California's Rincon Beach, partly to be near one of his favorite spots. "Surfing is probably my only feeling of freedom," says Johnston. "My mortgage payments are not in the water with me." John Milius, 42, co-writer of Apocalypse Now and writer-director of Big Wednesday, the 1978 surfing epic, calls himself a surfer...
