Steeple & Post. With more than 420 "shunpike" routes plotted across the state, Massachusetts is the pleasure cruiser's best friend and the country's finest driving range. There are roads to pick flowers by and roads to watch the leaves turn from, roads to maple syrup territory, seafood, flower and jazz festivals, a road for the Thanksgiving dash straight to Plymouth Rock. There is the original Mohawk Trail from Boston to the Berkshire Hills, brought up to date and dubbed Mass. Route 2.

He childishly equated a raid up the Slot in the Solomon Islands by Montpelier's task force with a sortie up the Hudson to bombard New York...
...waves, her speed crept up to 32 m.p.h., and she went winging across the surface of Long Island Sound like the hydrodynamic sea bird she is. Then-shades of the Ancient Mariner!-the debut was dampened by another hard-luck story. Off Hewlett Point lay a disabled cabin cruiser with smoke pouring from its engine compartment. t was the Bobbilee II, owned by Investment Banker Robert Lehman, and aboard as Lehman's guests were Movie Mogul Samuel Goldwyn and his wife...
