...possibility of there being a cryptogram was first brought to my attention when a friend showed me a letter from Bryn Mawr. It revealed that the Beatles' record "Sgt. Pepper" was one big cryptogram. Subsequent discussions led us to believe that the cryptogram idea was hotly discussed in the Philadelphia area in the summer of 1967 but no details were immediately available, so we started with only the information contained in the letter...

That decision has meant a two-hour commute twice a day ever since. Now, with the children grown, Regan's first presidential decision will be a family move to Sands Point, L.I., a Merrill Lynch executive haven from which...
