Despite the dust, the sultry midsummer heat and a pursuing band of photographers, Jacqueline Kennedy looked cool and graceful as she led Daughter Caroline's pony, Leprechaun, into the ring for the 4-H Stablemates' Horse Show in Cape Cod's West Barnstable. Last year Caroline won a sixth-place ribbon in the show, but she failed to place this time in a "maiden equitation" event, left the family victories to Bobby Kennedy's daughters Kathleen and Mary Courtney, who trotted off with three blue ribbons. Later in the week, Jackie let John Jr. and Caroline...

Armed with sturdy inner tubes, floppy hats, buoyant coolers full of iced beer cans, and an extra car to leave downstream for the trip back, enthusiasts simply stake out a docile stretch of river, plop themselves into the tube's cool well, and float downstream. When the afternoon is over, the tuber is sun-kissed but cool, refreshed but relaxed, with nary an aching muscle. "Tubing," says one insider, "is not tiring." Without once passing beyond the perimeter of his patched piece of commercial refuse, he has communed with nature far more intimately than the man who has played...
