...boat buffs are growing in number. The Chris-Craft Antique Boat Club has tripled its membership during the past six years, to 1,500, and owners of other brands have organized their own groups. Chris-Craft Industries, which switched from wood to fiber glass in 1968, sold most of its marine division (new name: Murray Chris-Craft) to private investors, who have set up a clearinghouse for collectors in need of old parts for their boats...

He belonged to an elite club of profs there who played a game which amounted to counting the number of times each participant was mentioned in the press on a given week. While serving on the Court, he spent much of his time at the White House, advising Johnson just as he had done before becoming a justice. Fortas knew deep down that such a bending of the doctrine of separation of powers was not right, and though he never...
