...counseling, can also help keep families together by sparing a working mother the desperate expedient of sending a child to a foster home or submitting him to some questionable form of care such as the sleazy package deals advertised along country roadsides ("Ironing, Child Care, and Worms for Fishing Bait...
More of Everything. He should have gone to Pinas Bay. An isolated jungle inlet, 150 miles southeast of Panama City, Pinas (or Pineapple) Bay is the world's hottest marlin ground, better than Peru, better than New Zealand, Hawaii or the Bahamas. There, swarming around a bait-packed barrier reef seven miles offshore, are more different kinds of billfish, and more of each, than anybody has ever seen before: big Pacific sailfish in such profusion that fishermen consider them a nuisance, literally thousands of blue marlin, silver marlin, striped marlin and the lordly blacks...
Both Kneecaps. But they work for their prize. Not even a trout has a more jaundiced opinion of hooks. Blacks like live bait (a 5-lb. bonito does nicely), and they want it practically spoonfed to them.

But by the time the Olympics roll around, Long may be hurling that 16-lb. ball all the way into orbit. "I've always felt that somebody would hit 70 ft. some day," he says...
...Dream Bait. During his three-day stay, Subandrio conferred with Dutch Foreign Minister Joseph Luns and Prime Minister Victor Marijnen, was granted a 45-minute audience with Queen Juliana, to whom he relayed "hearty greetings" from Sukarno. The Dutch, who agreed not to press for immediate payments on the $670 mil lion worth of Dutch properties expropriated by Sukarno six years ago, signed a technical-aid agreement with Indonesia, leaving tedious business details for later discussion. Beamed Subandrio: "We have no deep political differences any more." Having been twice bitten by Sukarno, both in Indonesia and New Guinea, the Dutch...
