...Kennerly has acquired three Ansel Adamses, and Adams a David Hume Kennerly. "We once swapped one for one," recalls the younger man. But the most satisfying of their exchanges, says Kennerly, was photographing Adams for this week's cover story, which marks the publication of Adams' 35th book and the opening of a major exhibit of the work of the man who, at 77, is the nation's best-known art photographer. He is also the first photographer to appear on TIME's cover and, says his portraitist, "the most deserving subject I can think...
...seems a shame that Episcopal church leaders remain blind to the fact that this abomination, the new prayer book [Aug. 13], is a much more explosive issue than the ordination of women. Personally I wouldn't argue with an optional "Hi there, God" liturgy as long as I didn't have to listen...
...leadership of the church, after years of hard work, introduces a new prayer book. Resistance among the laity is vociferous and in some cases violent. Is this the Episcopal Church with its modern-language prayer book in 1979? No. This first happened when Cranmer introduced his then modern-language prayer book in 1549.

His road to riches is outlined for him by a city hall insider, who shows the ex-jock how he can buy a building condemned by the city and lease it back to New York as a day care center. All Richie needs is title...
...Eagle Has Landed and Soldier of Orange have found their way into the movies, and Ken Follett's Eye of the Needle is about to-even as he puts together yet another World War II saga. If World War II films have naturally been less numerous than books, they have also-ever since George C. Scott swaggered across the screen in Patton in 1970-tended to be more spectacular and ambitious. TV is cluttered with World War II documentaries and dramas, ranging from the recent six-hour reprise of Ike's war years to perennial showings...
