...spent more time with writers and architects, musicians and students, not unlike those in Cambridge. We spent evenings in front of the fireplace listening to Bonnie Raitt, shared peoperoni pizzas and reminiscences of Annie Hall, silently watched shooting stars from a wide veranda on hot summer nights, thoughts of machine guns and burning crosses far from my mind...
...played in the British Open as an honorary qualifier. The Open that year was held at Troon, where he had competed 50 years earlier in the 1923 Open.

(To a psychotherapist: "You will need much work because a psychiatrist is more puzzled in a way than a psychotic. Lose control. Let it happen.") Each apostle also receives a new name. Henceforth...
...wonders whether Anwar Sadat sat on that veranda as he first began to contemplate his journey to Jerusalem?a move at once simple and awesome like the Pyramids themselves. We do know that not far from this resthouse Israeli and Egyptian negotiators have been meeting now for two weeks in an old hotel. It is in keeping with the spirit of a region where mirage and reality blend that the negotiators are at a bureaucratic level, which guarantees that no significant progress could be made until Premier Begin and President Sadat had met in Ismailia.
