...resign. That set off a back-room tempest in the Administration. The principals, Vance, Strauss, Jordan and Vice President Walter Mondale gathered that night, at the end of March, in Mondale's living room. Vance insisted that he had already yielded too much to Brzezinski in the past couple of years, as Vance put it, to protect Brzezinski against his own large insecurities. "It's not personal, it's institutional," maintained the Secretary. "It will be a terrible blow for the State Department." Mondale tried to be the peacemaker. The group stayed up until...
...Carter's feet as he jogged 22 laps around the deck; thereafter the President did his running ashore.

...images on silver-coated plates in 1839. "Photography was art from the moment the first shutter clicked," insists Graham Nash, 37, a San Francisco musician (formerly of Crosby, Stills and Nash), who owns one of the largest private collections on the West Coast. But only in the past decade has the general public placed photography alongside the other major arts. The first commercially successful New York City gallery devoted solely to photographs was opened in 1969 by Lee Witkin, who is credited with helping start the boom.
