Adams' photographic career began with the first trip he took to Yosemite, with his father in June 1916. He brought along a Kodak Brownie box camera. The trip was "a tremendous event," he recalls. From that moment, the Sierra?"that great earth gesture"?dominated Adams' life, changed his vocation, gave him his subjects.

One of his two children was born there, and not a year has passed since 1916 without his making at least one return visit. Often the visits have been elaborate...

If the flyby goes as planned, Pioneer 11 will not only send back 50 colored closeups of the great ringed gaseous sphere but provide valuable data on its interior structure, temperature, density and magnetic field...
...proclaim that Bo has been Jesus, Elijah and Moses in his former lives. The spacecraft is imminently expected. It will carry believers to an enigmatic "garden" where they will get "energy" from their coequal, the King of Kings, alias Chief of Chiefs, the god who created planet earth. Believers will live eternally in hairless, toothless bodies that are free of disease and decay. Groll scoffs about possible parallels between the camp discipline and the tragic end of Jonestown: "Anyone can walk away. We just have to turn from a caterpillar into a butterfly and then we'll be ready...
