Britain's immaculate Tailor and Cutter Magazine surveyed the international scene, issued a list of the world's best-dressed males. Among them: Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito ("the ritziest looking dictator in the world"), Richard Nixon ("a neat line between the wigwag shapes of U.S. drape and the ludicrously tight togs of U.S. Ivy Leaguers"), durable Hoofer Fred Astaire ("one of the few Americans who can wear a suit of tails"), Cinemactor Rex Harrison ("the best British answer to the Italian look"), Douglas Fairbanks Jr. ("British taste and American imagination"), Plutocrat Nubar Gulbenkian...

Next day, with the three rescue vessels at the site, the U.S.S. Campbell reported that conditions were worse than anything the Coast Guard cutter had seen on convoy duty during World War II. There was one mammoth ice floe half a mile wide and 40 miles long. The boiling seas were choked with icebergs, growlers or low-riding chunks of glaciers, massive hummocks of pack ice, and brash or bits of broken pack ice.

The Times happily labeled its article "Cuban...
