...attached every twelve to 25 ft. The long lines are left in the water for 24 hours or more, supported by buoys and equipped with radar beacons to spot their location for the boat. Fish hooked on the long lines fight hopelessly against the miles-long cable until they drown or are mutilated by sharks. Off Baja California one day last spring, enraged Mexican sport fishermen counted more than 300 sailfish on the 2,000 hooks of a single long line. The line was only one of five laid by a Japanese boat that fished the area for 14 days...
Seventeen news photographers drown or die of concussions as Lynda Bird Johnson spends a holiday surfing in California. Spacecraft Gemini 8 and Gemini 9 establish an historic orbital link-up.

Playing a tube he had carefully smuggled aboard in his space suit, he performs a riotous impromptu strip-tease for the laughing crew of Gemini 8.

...falls hopelessly in love with an impoverished girl of the English nobility. Clear Day puts a kooky American girl named Daisy Gamble (Barbara Harris) into a hypnotic trance and transports her back to 1794, when she was the bride of the rakish Edward Moncrief, and was destined to drown in the shipwreck of the Trelawny. With this paleo-romantic glue, Lerner tries to stick together a libretto incongruously torn between the pseudo science of extrasensory perception and the pseudo metaphysics of reincarnation...
