[Here], Sam continues to try to cope with her unexpected celebrity, and even dyes her red hair black so as not to be so easily recognized in public, with decidedly mixed results. She and David have started a new art class together featuring life drawing--which means nude models, to Sam's shocked surprise. David has invited her to Camp David Camp David, U.S. presidential retreat, located in Catoctin Mountain Park (see National Parks and Monuments, table), in NW Md.
