While North America accounts for the vast majority of the world's cruising market, business is strong in other choice spots, from the Aegean Sea to the South Pacific. Even the Soviet Union has built a fleet of 27 ships, which carry mostly West European passengers on voyages in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Baltic regions. Few Soviets are allowed to travel on the ships because the purpose of the fleet is to earn Western currency...
...Liani has been an open secret in Greek social circles. But scandal surfaced after he failed to attend Sept. 13 commemoration ceremonies for last year's earthquake in the southern town of Kalamata. Within days press reports claimed that Papandreou had spent that weekend on a yacht , in the Aegean with Liani.

Although the major decisions about last week's events took place in Washington, State Department Correspondent Johanna McGeary found herself closer to the action than she had anticipated. Flying over the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece with Secretary of State George Shultz, McGeary was startled to see the red lights of fighter jets nosing up on either wing of Shultz's plane. Officials aboard quickly reassured reporters that the planes were friendly F-4 Phantoms assigned to protect one of the Reagan Administration's chief advocates of forceful action against terrorism...
