...Hostile World." He called for a "new international economic order" and for new American leadership to help create it-a leadership that would set "politically and morally compelling directions to which the public might then positively respond." Now the Polish emigre academic, a man of angular features whose crew cut seems a carryover from the '50s, is comfortably entrenched in the West Wing of Jimmy Carter's White House, in the same large, gold-hued corner office once occupied by another foreign-born but very different ex-professor, Henry Kissinger. Brzezinski, 49, who is variously considered brilliant, arrogant...
...most widely experienced and successful sailors in the world, winning in a variety of boats under every condition. As a skipper, he is a fire storm of energy, ranting, cursing, praising, excoriating. On the waters of Rhode Island Sound off Newport, he has driven his crew to a razor-sharp edge. Conservative in his tactics when in the lead, he will stop at nothing when he is behind. The final race last week against Enterprise was typical.

One TV crew got up at 5 a.m. to video-tape a Delta sunrise, and in front of Owen Cooper's house on Grand Avenue, for which Mr. and Mrs. Cooper bought new carpets, drapes and sheets for their overnight visitor, I sighted a TV crew shooting another TV crew at work...
...salvaging Uncle John's World War II patrol boat, PT109. The boat is thought to lie in 1,400 ft. of water off the Solomon Islands, where it was sunk by a Japanese destroyer in 1943. J.F.K.'s heroic part in the survival of his crew became a legend that contributed notably to his political career. When young Michael learned of an Australian effort to find and hoist up the remains of PT109, he set off to meet with the adventurers. His special dream: to see artifacts-or maybe even the hulk itself-installed some...
