Covering the papal newsmaker on the ground proved a bit more challenging; the Pope went by helicopter to all stops, while reporters had to follow by car. Wynn and Eastern Europe Correspondent Barry Kalb devised a system of "leapfrogging" the papal party. One would spend a day covering the Pope, while the other drove to the next destination and saw to all the complicated logistical and bureaucratic arrangements the trip required...
...contrast to the feverish activity in Geneva, summit preparations went on almost serenely in Vienna, where the treaty is to be signed at 1 p.m. in the Redoutensaal, a gold-and-white ballroom in the sprawling Hofburg, the Habsburg dynasty's Imperial Palace.

Anna, the strongest adult around, was considered eccentric because she believed that love was a trap. Little Mary Ann went home with sour choices ahead of her, and a headful of dissatisfactions that would not come clear until she herself was middleaged. The novel is a sketch of these hurts in their nascent state, and it is surprisingly forceful...
