...admire her stride, but that's because I am following in her footsteps. (Though, of course, she did it all in heels.) I've been on the other end of that phone line, tap-dancing to bring a source around. And this year, I've been shuttling from Washington to Austin, stuffing myself at age 32 into the Bush campaign jet the way she did into those drafty prop planes in the same town, at the same age, 40 years ago. I too have drinks at the Driskill hotel and send a postcard to my dad on a slow afternoon...
...concessions. "I sensed an unbelievable gap," Peres said. But over dinner Peres calmed Arafat. After they ate a dessert of kunafeh, sweet semolina topped with shredded wheat and syrup, Peres and Arafat talked alone. By half past midnight, they had a deal. Arafat agreed to end the shooting--though not the stones and the Molotov cocktails.

And though Finch didn't know food, she did know how to make great television. So she took Ming Tsai, already a star of his own studio cooking show, and created Ming's Quest, sending the handsome, athletic Tsai on rollicking adventures--a sort of extreme-cooking show. On a journey to the Everglades, he fried a gator on a set rigged together in the swamp...
...long way from that base to a real solution, however. Though other music companies last week voiced cautious approval of the Bertelsmann move, there is considerable resentment. Indeed, it took intense negotiations last month and, ultimately, management fiat for Middelhoff to get the support of top executive Strauss Zelnick at his own BMG. So far, nobody has indicated any willingness to drop the legal action against Napster. "We're still not on Napster's side," says Zelnick, laughing. "We're suing Napster. But we are also on the side of creating an array of legitimate distribution alternatives...
