...drive to Beirut is normally a pleasant three-hour trip, but there was a lonely feeling the morning I left Damascus, cabled Brelis. Once beyond the city limits, I began running into military convoys, also headed for Beirut. First glance suggested rear-echelon troops; then several big trucks appeared hauling empty trailers-the type that haul out crippled tanks. I began studying the faces of the mechanics in the back of the trucks. There was no singing, but some of the solemn young draftees looked as if they were enjoying their work; others seemed locked in thoughts about other places...
Letting Go. Next comes a three-hour process, or exercise, about troubling "items" in our lives, such as anger and loneliness. Everyone lies on the floor, eyes closed.

For the first time, some of the men lose control, including the dapper Mr. Cool, now convulsed and flailing his limbs. The crescendo comes when Ron directs attention to our diaphragms.

More than 700 people were killed under falling rubble before the shocks subsided...
Something about Actress Trish Van Devere is bringing out the animal in her husband George C. Scott. Occasionally boorish off-camera, Scott looks truly boarish after a daily three-hour makeup job for his co-starring role in the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. The production, being filmed in England, will run as a 90-minute NBC special in the U.S. and as a feature movie in other countries. The pair hopes it will fare better than their 1974 joint effort, The Savage Is Loose, which the critics castigated. Purrs Trish: "We are trying to do Beauty...
