...Dare talked to Actress Judy Davis about Lean's "volatile" directorial style. Reporter John Wright tracked down more than a dozen of Lean's past and present colleagues in England, including Peggy Ashcroft and Alec Guinness.

Deaf Smith County, Texas. Named after one of General Sam Houston's scouts, this flat farm county in the Panhandle covers a salt bed that begins about 2,500 ft. below the wheatfields. Geologists seeking a safe radioactive-waste site have long favored salt formations because they are free of water, tend to reseal if fractured, and handle heat well.

In a state survey of 1,000 area residents, 73% said they would resist placing the dump there, and only 4% favored...

Secretary of State George Shultz can be droningly evasive and still be asked back; lesser fry do not dare. (Andrei Gromyko doesn't have to face the problem at all.) No American politician could get away with an Englishman's jolly "I say, would...
...that hole, he realizes it. The minute there is even a subtle diminishment of legs, you're the first to know. I became aware of when I should stop wanting the ball in key situations. For a couple of years, I decoyed myself at those moments, making sure Sam Jones, Tommy Heinsohn or whoever ended up with the shot...
