...Sailors. Strangest of South Viet Nam's services is the navy, whose duty it is to patrol 1,000 miles of cove-pocked coastline and almost 3,500 miles of inland waterways-rivers, creeks, canals, irrigation ditches and tidal bayous. In the flat, checkered Mekong Delta, waterways have been the main routes of travel for centuries. The 9,000 officers and men of South Viet Nam's navy keep these arteries open with 600 curious vessels, ranging from sampans and junks to converted landing craft. Armed with 20-and 40-mm. cannon, heavy machine guns, even...
...stream of projects for South End, Charlestown, South Cove, Waterfront, Downtown, etc. are programmed, promising the same superb design and neighborhood cooperation that are becoming visible in Government Center and Washington Park today.

Here the Japanesy two-story buildings are bordered by deck and dock, with private craft tied up at the door. Most tenants work in San Francisco and commute by car and-in some instances-boat. Rents at The Cove range from $185 for a one-bedroom apartment, to $525 for three bedrooms. On the outskirts of Los Angeles, the Penthouse apartments hover over the Pacific shore line, offer tenants a beach, a Gay Nineties-style billiard room...
...Shoo, Shoo, Shoo." As the Queen arrived in Quebec City, all Canada held its breath. Sailing up the St. Lawrence from Prince Edward Island, where she began her eight-day visit, the royal yacht Britannia docked at Wolfe's Cove, and for a full hour security police combed the area before the Queen and Prince Philip stepped ashore. In a bleakly unceremonial freight shed, she inspected the honor guard, listened to a welcoming speech by Premier Jean Lesage, then climbed into a bulletproof Cadillac for the drive to the Quebec Parliament Building-and a reception as chill...
