...Vineyard Haven, drive in the direction of Gay Head--up Island--until you get to Chilmark. Don't stop to look for a town, because there isn't one to look for. Just off the main road you'll find the Chilmark Community Center, a graying Cape Cod shingle building with four ill-kept clay tennis courts out back. In the far court on the left, whipping the ball over the net at breakneck speed, will be a tall young man sporting a vintage 1986 Kirkland House tee shirt with the memorable emblem "Kirkland House: Where Intelligence is Just Another...
While the exploration of the legendary Titanic captured the imagination of the world, it was but one of many undersea forays now in progress. Even as J.J. roamed the corridors of the great ship, diving teams from Cape Cod, Mass., to the South Seas, wearing scuba tanks, masks and flippers, were peering at decaying wrecks on the sea floor.

It took 1 1/2 years before a Navy search team, aboard the bathyscaphe Trieste II, finally located the sub resting 8,400 ft. down...
...this time, he and Matilda had had four of their five children and were living in the five-bedroom Cape Cod-style house in Holliswood, Queens, that Andrea Cuomo had built for them. Cuomo was his papa's boy: he worked all the time. But he grew restive. He needed a cause and found one in a group of blue- collar, mostly Italian families from Corona, Queens, who were trying to prevent the city from tearing down their houses for a new school. After six years, Cuomo won a compromise that saved nearly all the homes...
