...tuxedos, who take over, announcing the program and pacing the elaborate performance. The first guests arrive: James and Judy Horn, a pair of young Chicago attorneys. They are celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. George, a jolly pink-cheeked waiter whose wife has stitched his name in yarn across his jacket, takes charge of what Banchet has labeled "Le Show," wafting a silver platter laden with treasures under the noses of the astonished Horns. There is a colorful vegetable pate studded with bits of broccoli and tomato as bright as jewels. A paupiette of smoked salmon filled with fluffy crab mousse...
Spielberg is a lean, brown-bearded, medium-size man whose considerable physical presence seems stressed by his steadily ticking analytical intelligence. He wears a standard director's outfit, a khaki safari jacket and jeans. Otherwise, there is very little that is standard about him and almost nothing suggesting Hollywood. He is obsessive about self-control and, perhaps for that reason, takes no drugs, virtually no alcohol and carries herbal tea bags to avoid caffeine drinks.

When he was described as "a carnivorous moose stalking his dinner," his reaction was to say, "Moose aren't carnivorous." In his snug green Masters jacket, Stadler was asked about the changes a major championship would bring in his life. He had been the eighth leading money winner in both 1980 and 1981, and now he was No. 1. Beyond money, he was starting to play golf for history. "I've kind of thought about...
...some resistance among the staff, partly because Schell got a reputation as an overly emotional, "radic-lib" opponent of the Viet Nam War. Shawn, however, has continued to support him and was the godfather for The Fate of the Earth. Shawn even provided, anonymously, promotional material for the dust jacket of the book. From that telltale bit of evidence, we learn that Shawn believes that this book "may someday be looked back upon as a crucial event in the history of human thought." An editor in such awe of what his author and protege has produced is likely to wield...
