Folk Mystique. Married only three years ago, Bates, 38, has taken to domesticity with enthusiasm. He and his wife Victoria have a house in London's expensive Hampstead area but spend much of their time with their two-year-old twin sons in a converted barn next to his parents' home in Derbyshire. There the Midlands meet the North Country and green hedges give way to gray stone walls. "Alan is a Derbyshire boy," says Actor Jeremy Brett, a close friend. "That's one better than being a Welshman. The Derby hills have a magic like...
...When the twin-engine Cessna 310 disappeared somewhere between Juneau and Anchorage last week, it set off one of the most extensive aerial searches in Alaska's history. More than 70 airplanes and a sophisticated SR-71, the Air Force's highly developed reconnaissance plane, combed the majestically mountainous area and scanned the waters of Prince William Sound seeking traces of the six-passenger craft.

Jones, vice president of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, the original Empire architects, reflected: "Here's a building that's been the tallest building for 40 years, and now it's no longer the tallest." As Jones tells...
...truck farm. Pat's mother died when she was 13, leaving her to do all the housework and some of the fieldwork. Eleanor Stegeberg was born in 1921 on a South Dakota farm at the outset of the great farm depression. Her mother died when she and her twin sister Ila were eleven. There was never much money but there was always plenty of talk. "I grew up thinking that the only way one spent a Sunday afternoon was discussing politics," recalls Eleanor. Her father, a local politician who went on to become the Democratic county chairman, never missed...
