...most safety experts, licensing of boat operators isn't an "obvious answer" [Sept. 6]-it's a superficial one. Could a license have saved the boob who drove through the cabin cruiser or the nine nuts who went off without life jackets? Hot-rodders in cars have no trouble passing licensing tests. Neither would hot-rod skippers. More lives could be saved for less money by beefing up Coast Guard and state patrols to enforce our boating laws...
...sessions at a television studio and on the warm-up mound in the stadium bullpen. His biggest break came when the brakes locked on a plane that was bringing the Tiger star from Boston to New York. McLain fumed at the delay, but there he was-trapped in the cabin with Kane for one long hour, with nothing to do except talk about himself...
...Thames. Separated from his wife and child, mired in an unpromising literary career, he tries to find himself by casting off the paraphernalia of modern life.

All nine might have been saved if they had only thought...
...spot checking of cars for smuggled ammunition create massive traffic tie-ups; and on walls throughout the city, government posters depict Ojukwu's demonic countenance being crushed by the boot of a soldier. Otherwise, life in Lagos maintains its prewar rhythms. On Saturday evenings, the Gondola and Cabin Bamboo dance halls still swing, and weekend picnickers jam the gleaming bay-front beaches, splashing in the surf and munching smoked stockfish...
