...Bartley: Years ago, Jackie O. and Caroline Kennedy came here on a busy Saturday night. The place was packed and noisy, but, right when those two walked in, total silence fell over the restaurant. I still remember what Jackie ordered: a Muenster cheeseburger and a glass of skim milk. That's way before your time, though. I remember a couple of years ago, Skip Gates called me and asked me to change his menu item from a chicken sandwich to a hamburger. I heard a lot of noise in the background, so I asked him, 'Skip, where are you calling...
...notorious as his films. As a child, with his Jewish parents in concentration camps, he survived the Nazis by hiding and running. In Hollywood, his blond starlet wife Sharon Tate was slaughtered by Charles Manson's own Satanic gang. Then, after his great success with the knotty, despairing Chinatown (still his best film), there was his 1977 sexual encounter with a 13-year-old; when he thought he was sure to serve a long jail term, he fled the U.S., never to return. He seemed secure living in Paris, making films in France and Germany, until a visit to Switzerland...
...Clinton years, we've treated fractures like Carol's with closed reduction and casting. "Treating it closed" meant we set it ("reduced the fracture"), i.e. pulled and twisted (hopefully with some anesthesia) to get the pieces into the best position possible, then we held the wrist still in a plaster cast for a month and a half - 40 days and 40 nights being the magic healing time for most things orthopedic.

Bone-setting was a doctor's skill borne of necessity. In the days when any surgery meant great pain and usually an infection, closed treatment was the only sensible option. A good closed reduction still makes any bone doctor worth his salt proud. Walk up to some poor guy looking forward to a life of pain, deformity and stiffness, pick up his wrist, give it just the right yank and wham! he's cured. Makes you feel like Fonzi kicking the Coke machine. (See TIME's special report "How to Live 100 Years...
...between icy and slushy, so perhaps it was a perfect test. He paired a 7th place finish in the downhill with 3rd place slalom. "I've been ready and prepared for this all year," he said after the race. But he admitted that he was exhausted after the downhill. Still, he says he didn't think strategize about the slalom. "I wasn't thinking about what I needed to do what win," he said in answer to my question. That's totally in keeping with Miller. It's all about the skiing. Even if he had a four-second lead...
