This year I had the pleasure of spending a nostalgic Christmas day in Virginia City, Nevada, now a national historic monument.

I am once again writing this report from a first class sleeping cabin on Amtrak?s California Zephyr. By day, I have two comfortable seats facing each other next to a broad window. At night, they fold into bunk beds, a single and a double. There is a shower, but only Houdini could get in and
