...entourage of protectors and instructors were always whisked to the front of the lift lines and up the mountain, so quickly that half of the crowd milling at Mid-Vail probably never even saw him on skis.

One of the first of the new drugs in the medical armory was discovered by Dr. Edward Freis, a researcher with the Veterans Administration.

Vail is an elegant winter resort, the place where John Lindsay, Jackie Onassis, Barbra Streisand, Robert Redford and numerous Kennedys come to play. Carved out of a wilderness twelve years ago, Vail is a high-priced retreat where the après-ski attractions include continental restaurants, 28 heated pools and smart boutiques for snow bunnies...
