Below, far below, is the ceaseless crash and sighing of the sea. Behind, tall redwoods climbing up the mountainside. Off to one side, hot mineral baths laid down on ground once sacred to the local Indians. And out in the distance, along the blue horizons, the spouting of a distant whale. There, on a sunlit lawn high above the sea, a score of visitors assemble at first light. Retired schoolteachers, lay therapists, dentists from Ohio -- all move their limbs slowly, to the sound of a flute, through the Tai Chi motions of fire, water and gold...
...Dutch windmill stands tall on the front lawn of William Simon's Long Island summer home. But despite his fondness for the unusual antique, the onetime Treasury Secretary and U.S. energy czar is no Don Quixote of the business world.

In fact, Simon has helped mold a multibillion-dollar conglomerate that includes the largest savings and loan association in Honolulu and a merchant bank in Los Angeles.

Tense beneath her first saddle and confined to a narrow chute, the mustang lays back her ears indignantly. Robinson, 28, tall and powerfully built, eases atop the animal, and she erupts in furious leaps. Fellow convicts pull Robinson to safety. Released into the corral, the mare kicks like a ninja assassin as cowboys in green prison garb shout and wave their Stetsons to keep her from banging into the fence. Robinson climbs on again and seconds later is bucked into the dust. Yet even a wild horse eventually tires. Another man mounts up, the mare crow-hops a bit, stiff...
