...Amigo S, who had some speed on him, and in 1947 Swanson began racing on the quarter-horse circuit. Riding without boots, to cut weight, he twice tied the world record for the furlong (12.3 seconds). Then Amigo S came up lame, and Swanson found an art school at Carmel, Calif. near the ocean, so he could exercise him in salt water. Mornings, he broke horses to make a living-"I'd have half a dozen of them lined up in the corral, already saddled, and I'd ride them one after another"-and in the afternoons...
...Sadat-Begin summit, the seventh since Sadat's historic journey to Jerusalem in November 1977, thus produced mixed results. The meetings on Mount Carmel, a setting that offered the participants a soothing panoramic view of Haifa harbor, reaffirmed the underlying strength of the Egyptian-Israeli treaty. Despite strong differences in attitude and priorities, Sadat and Begin gave every indication that their relationship is now rooted in friendship and respect. In fact, some diplomats are convinced that after months of occasional disappointments and persistent distrust, the two men have grown genuinely fond of each other...

...redwood house above the shifting kelp beds and nocturnal sea of Carmel, an old man is playing the piano, not too well. The room is large, worn and comfortable, decked with the heterogeneous souvenirs of a long life?rows of Indian pottery, elegantly woven tribal baskets and a huge Chinese ceremonial drum. The piano player's head, a bald mass, gleams in the light. His hands, swollen from arthritis, hardened by decades of immersion in darkroom chemicals, skitter over the keys, assaulting the same phrase again and again. "Damn," he says, "I've lost it." But not altogether. Once...
Today Adams spends far more time on the performance than on the score. He virtually stopped taking pictures for public consumption in 1965, and rarely lifts a lens outside Carmel any more. He can occasionally be seen roaming that photogenic seaside town, a Hasselblad camera in hand, but the images he snaps are put aside for his private collection. Instead of turning out new works, Adams devotes most of his working days to making prints of his earlier ones. He spends about four mornings a week in his darkroom and devotes the afternoons to updating the series of books...
