Says Pierce: "We were lucky not to be killed before we reached Tripoli. But once there, we were unbound, served coffee and juice and interrogated almost conversationally. After a few phone calls to verify our credentials, we were released, with profuse apologies from the officer in charge." Except for the driver's wounds, the chief regret for Pierce, who won the 1982 Overseas Press Club award for photoreporting from abroad, and Foley, Pulitzer prizewinner for 1982 for his photos of the Beirut massacre (one of which appeared on TIME's Sept. 27 cover in most editions): no pictures...
Leonardo da Vinci's Landscapes, Plants and Water Studies (Johnson Reprint Corp.; $4,600; after Dec. 31, $5,500) reproduces 70 sheets of drawings, unbound and printed recto and verso, from the hand and mind of genius.

It would be less expensive to jet to Britain...

Chapter 1 bears one piece of sad news: his mother was killed...
...their latest outings, the three on going heroes of note in American fiction have succeeded in a variety of styles. Philip Roth's Nathan Zuckerman (Zuckerman Unbound) is famous; Updike's Harry Angstrom (Rabbit Is Rich) shuttles prosperously from Toyota dealership to marriage bed; and Thomas Berger's hefty and tenuous moralist, Carlo Reinhart, now 54, has risen above his customary blundering to become an Ohio Quixote tilting at Cuisinarts. Indeed, the redoubtable lummox actually triumphs over fate, women and his amazing girth...
