...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 of-not only because of his contributions as artist and a conservationist.

Obviously, war's vulgarity has not yet vanquished its wickedness or the sense of adventure it engenders, even if vicariously.
