...relentless questioning by Prosecuting Counsel Mervyn Griffith-Jones, Ward's composure was seldom shattered. Asked about Vickie Barrett, he burst out: "If this girl is telling the truth, then I am guilty. My case must depend on saying this girl is lying." Drumming nicotine-stained hands on the dock rail, Ward declared that Christine, Mandy and half a dozen other witnesses who testified against him were motivated by malice or greed. He cried, "Anyone who comes in from the street can come forward and say I am lying...
...AMERICAN WIND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (June 5-Aug. 11) is the showboat of summer music. Its unlikely home: a 122-ft.-long, 30-ft.-wide converted coal barge. A tug tows this floating concert hall along the Ohio, Mississippi and tributary rivers. In the next fortnight, the A.W.S. will dock at and serenade such symphony-less cities...
There were obviously issues that never got to the bargaining table. Mainland-born Hall, who sailed to Hawaii in 1935, teamed up with West Coast Labor Boss Harry Bridges and now presides over a diminishing domain of plantation and dock workers, has been looking for a way to organize Hawaii's white-collar workers.

"My life used to revolve around Stephen from the moment I got up until the moment I went to bed," she said. "I thought I could never stand...
Some states have licensing requirements for boats, but none have licenses for their pilots, who are all too likely to turn the ignition key in their new power cruiser and gun away from the dock without even having a chart of the waters or the know-how to read it if they did. The Coast Guard crew at Stepping Stones Light Station off New York City, where Long Island Sound meets the East River, spends a large part of the summer frantically waving a towel to warn sloppy skippers off the nearby reef. The shoal is covered with only...
