...Staudacher sighted a photographer on shore, decided exuberantly to give him a good shot at the boat's bellowing speed. He opened up his J35 engine, the same model that drives the Air Force's F89 fighter, and Tempo-Alcoa zoomed up to 180 m.p.h. Then he cut the engine. Two miles ahead, a small peninsula called Pelican Point jutted out into the water. The distance seemed safe enough. The boat had earlier slowed from 260 m.p.h. to a stop in less than a mile.

...lost all her anxiety, was as calm and unhurried as if a horde of servants had prepared the meal. That, in fact, was just what had happened. Except for the cooking water and seasoning, almost every bite of the appetizing meal she placed before her guests had been washed, cut, peeled, shelled, precooked, mixed and apportioned by "factory maids" long before it reached her hands. After cocktails and hors d'oeuvres (frozen), Mrs. Holstein began her meal with shrimp (frozen) in cocktail sauce (prepared), a green salad (fresh) with Swiss dressing (from a bottle...
