...world, during which he will visit twelve countries. Cruising from port to port in the Mediterranean aboard Shipping Magnate Aristotle Onassis' luxury yacht, Swedish Sphinx Greta Garbo spent her 50th birthday at sea. Confident that she would swim the English Channel round trip and non-stop to international acclaim, California's Florence Chadwick set out thoroughly greased from Dover, but after giving up a mile off the French coast, was beached by irate French customs officials, who took a dim view of her arrival or departure without a passport...
