...C.N.O., Zumwalt has effectively applied his philosophical bent-an unusual blend of suave intellectualism in the Maxwell Taylor tradition and a populist disdain for those traditions that demean low-ranking personnel. The result is what the civilian-edited Navy Times calls "an electric feeling throughout the whole Navy." One Zumwalt technique, as at San Diego, has been to visit naval installations to hear out his men. Already he has met with some 30,000 of them.

By the time he was discharged, he had become a good clarinetist and saxophonist...

This year, after a worrisomely chilly spring, the weather turned ideal, with just the right blend of sun and showers. As the grape harvest neared its end last week, prospects for the wine business glowed. The bumper crop is expected to yield 57 million barrels of wine, up better than 34% from last year...
