Reagan, who on earlier summer retreats to his beloved Rancho del Cielo chopped wood and bagged rattlesnakes with photogenic robustness, clearly had been itching to get back in the saddle again. Says one aide: "If the President had his way, he would have ridden a horse from Point Mugu (the Naval air station some 60 miles away, where Air Force One lands) to the ranch." Reagan at least had plenty of time to read the stacks of briefing papers National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane keeps feeding him in preparation for the November summit in Geneva. The papers range from...
...action ranges across North America, France and darkest Russia, none of it convincingly in focus. In New Hampshire, for instance, Author Hyde has the Soviet bad guys, who are driving a small runabout, stop off at a farm to pick up a cord of wood, a quantity that would founder anything short of a sizable truck.

...hardscrabble town in the Dominican Republic where, as a teenager, he had first hurled fastballs and curves to Guerrero. Both Andujar, 32, and Guerrero, 29, are the sons of sugarmill workers, and there was little money.

Twenty-five duplicate Centenarys will be sold for $125,000 each. Says Perry of the historic achievement: "Eighty-one years is a long time to produce 100,000 cars, but that fact speaks volumes for itself...
...hall, but direct passageways to the wide open spaces of the train shed were deemed essential. Out there, things do get interesting. The vast, gently arched roof is a 110-ft.-high web of steel trusses fitted with alternating wall-to-wall strips of clear glass and unpainted wood planks. The glass and fir are all new, but almost every bit of steel, 2,700 tons, is original. The space is gloriously scaled, and the strips of roof make for neat plays of sun and shadow on the eleven acres beneath. One simultaneously feels inside and outdoors, comforted and invigorated...
