...sleeping arrangements: Clinton, like Carter before him at Camp David I, is staying at the four-bedroom Aspen cottage. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is in Dogwood, Arafat is in Birch, and the delegations all dine together in Laurel. The place is so spread out that some of the participants tool around in golf carts. One Aha! revelation: in 1978, Anwar Sadat stayed in Dogwood, and Menachem Begin was in Birch.

Cortland Myers as a “pest” and the “vestibule of Hell...
...another study found that 46% of men of normal weight think about their appearance "all the time" or "frequently." And some men--probably hundreds of thousands, if you extrapolate from small surveys--say they have passed up job and even romantic opportunities because they refuse to disrupt workouts or dine on restaurant food. In other words, an increasing number of men would rather look brawny for their girlfriends than have sex with them...
