Snowshoes & Skis. Meanwhile, Rocky and Senator Margaret Chase Smith were stepping up their campaigns in New Hampshire. The lady from Maine rose with the sun, stomped around in a beaver-skin coat to shield her from temperatures that reached 29 below zero, donned snowshoes to clump around in the Canadian border town of Pittsburg (pop. 200). Annoyed that press reports invariably mention her age, she said that "Winston Churchill was three years older than I when he first became Prime Minister." (Actually, he was 65 to Maggie's 66.)

Now a longtime Dulles friend, Chaumont, N.Y., Marina Operator Robert Hart, who had a cottage on the main island, has bought the hideaway for an undisclosed sum, promises to "keep it as it is." That's not quite what will happen to Franklin D. Roosevelt's old 165-ft. yacht Potomac. Up for auction, the vessel which the wartime President called his "Shangri-La," went for $55,000 to none other than...
