Wesley Zavrel: A jump from 13,500 feet. Jumping from the airplane above the clouds and in freefall at 120 mph until about 5,000 feet. 'The parachuting part was like an amusement park ride, with sharp turns and slowing down so it felt like you weren't moving at all, just suspended in the air. All with a perfect landing in the drop zone...'

'THE HOARDERS AND WASTERS', woodcut # 54 by Salvador Dalí, illustrating Stanza # 20. This is the most mysterious of all the woodcuts in Dalí's series, which combines many elements of his style. He locates the souls in a rocky landscape, with stone arches which resemble a gate. On closer examination, the faces are recognizable. In the distance we can see mountains. On the left side of the picture, a fisherman is seen running with his net over his shoulder. It is a figure which we encounter often in Dalí's works, and which reminds us of the coasts of Port Lligat and Cadaques. For our article, see Dante and the Rein of Avarice ...
