...hand: "Not only have the Americans signed a totally misbegotten treaty with the Panamanians--given away the shop, thank you very much Mr. Jimmy Carter!--they're also proposing to honour it." A frightful power vacuum will occur, Luxmore argues, when the U.S. cedes control of the Panama Canal to the Panamanians on Dec. 31, 1999.

"In Antwerp, we dove into the city canal, a moat really, right alongside the boathouse. In those days, the two final dives were literally picked out of a hat. Our second dive was a forward somersault--you had to land feet first. Fortunately, I went last and watched as all the other girls missed theirs. Then I made mine.
