...rare trip from Hickory Hill, Ethel Kennedy flew to Nassau for a few days of sun. And since she was about to celebrate her 41st birthday, her sister-in-law, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, put her husband's yacht Christina at Ethel's disposal for a Bahamian cruise. Close Friends Blanche and lim Whittaker signed on for the voyage too, and when Ethel arrived down south, a surprise present awaited her: a gold charm bracelet appropriately adorned with a jet plane, bus, typewriter, camera and microphone from the 50 newsmen who covered R.F.K.'s primary campaign...
Floating Hospital. A second day in a second port (the Bahamian Las Vegas, Freeport) imparts a healthy glow to the passengers for the homeward cruise.

But in the end, Pindling's record was the big issue, and voters had to agree that the chunky, soft-spoken moderate was running the country pretty well. Despite fears that Pindling would stir up racial tensions and frighten business away, the islands have remained calm, and both investment and tourism are on the in crease. The islands' three casinos are packed every night...
...guiding hand behind Puerto Rico's "Operation Bootstrap" and a key organizer of the Alliance for Progress. Another Pindling achievement was ordering salaries for legislative and Cabinet members, thus eliminating the old system of fat "consultant's fees"-really payoffs and bribes-that flourished among the United Bahamian Party's government officials (TIME, Sept...
