Grove is not all work: he skis, bikes with his wife Eva, listens to opera. He occasionally breaks out into a wild, disjointed boogie (his kids call it groving instead of grooving and recall the time Eva snapped her ankle on their shag carpet as the two danced to the sound track of Hair). The dance step is typical: Grove is a passionate, if disjointed man. He is a famously tough manager who, late at night, can still fill Intel's offices with a rolling laugh.

...better use of celebrity than saving teenagers from ruining their lives, even if the celebrity comes with more baggage than could ever fit in an overhead bin. While the rest of us have shed our antiwar activism along with our bell bottoms, images of Fonda in her shag cut in Hanoi, along with stills of her as the sex kitten Barbarella, are the staples of every profile.

So tight was security that some were soon calling the conference "a boot camp run by Americans" and complaining that "life is really, really boring." But if the restrictions were deemed onerous, at least not everyone found the shag- rug-and-Formica decor so bad. "It's a bit like Motel 6," said Mohammed Sacirbey, Bosnia's Foreign Minister. "But I like Motel 6. 'Leave the light on.'" There were complaints about not being able to leave the base--although Milosevic was spotted Friday afternoon buying shoes in suburban...

...field, he was talking baseball." Cal Sr., whose face might have entranced Grant Wood, cracks a rare smile when he thinks back to his days in Asheville. "At the start of batting practice, I would plant the boys at the base of the outfield fence to shag flies and tell them, 'Don't move.' But as practice went on, I would see them inch in toward the infield, until by the end Cal was taking ground balls hit by my third baseman, Doug DeCinces, while Billy was just a few paces behind him."
