...Coast Guard light station at Point Sur in California. Last year Wolman, who has his own Cessna, published California from the Air: The Golden Coast. He knew Point Sur well and says, "I fell in love with it again." Photographer Steve Liss had a less aesthetic vista at Bucks Harbor, Me.: a surplus airbase. After checking every conceivable camera angle on the ground, he concluded reluctantly that he, like Wolman, would have to fly. "I'm petrified of planes," says Liss, "especially small ones...
...government's survival. Among other things, the Kenyan port of Mombasa is a strategic port of call for the U.S. Indian Ocean fleet. Kenya gets $79.5 million a year in military and economic aid from Washington, and U.S. technicians are currently dredging Mombasa's harbor to make it a more effective base of operations for the Rapid Deployment Force.

Most moving was Gerald Ford's pilgrimage by helicopter to Valley Forge, Philadelphia, and the tall ships in New York Harbor on the nation's 200th birthday...
...sometimes we harbor a subversive suspicion that it doesn't really matter. Once, we think, we were a people of the book. Now we begin to seem, perhaps irreparably, a people of the tube. The race of literary giants, the tyrant genius founders (Homer, Tolstoi, Flaubert, Joyce, Proust and so-on), will of course be safely stowed away on microfilm:literature freeze-dried, the Great Books kept as curios of the culture, like shrunken heads. But the writing we tend to get now, books milling around aimlessly at the dead end of the post modern (or wherever we technically...
