Nancy Reagan, who is not a relaxed rider, went along on her chubby bay named No Strings. They own two other horses, both Arabians, a white named Gualianko and a sorrel named Catalina. Reagan used to raise thoroughbreds and sell them off as yearlings. When he was younger, he had his own system of breaking horses, first with a lunge line in the ring, then lying stomach-down across their backs, all the time emphasizing verbal commands. As he was explaining his approach, he burst into a sing-song chant from his cavalry days: "Walk ho-o!" he cried...

From ajowan to zedoary, there are hundreds of other herbs available, in 17th century Herbalist John Parkinson's phrase, "for use and delight." To the delight of the vast army of health-food enthusiasts who use herbs, most of them are grown...
...regulars stepped off the bus wearing oiled boots, scruffy knapsacks, faded blue jeans. Bright-eyed, they talked of things and places far removed from everyday city life: of lady fern and sorrel, of landmarks with such strange-sounding names as Evolution Valley and Tuolumne Meadows, of high places where the air is pungent with eucalyptus. Their packs held only a few necessities: a knife to carve a walking stick, binoculars clinking against a canteen cup, sandwiches.
