Well-Insured Hull. Recovering the value of the Torrey Canyon and the 118,000 tons of crude oil it carried is only the beginning of the problem. British Petroleum, for whom the chartered ship was hauling crude from Kuwait to England, had insured its cargo for $1,600,000. The ship itself, owned by a company called Barracuda Tanker Corp., which was incorporated in Liberia but is controlled from Wall Street, carried "hull" insurance of $16.5 million. As is traditional in marine insurance, the policy (with an annual premium of $330,000) had been spread among 120 syndicates...

Unitarianism was once snidely summed up as a small New England sect with a faith in the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the neighborhood of Boston. No longer.

...Earl Russell, now 94, presents a psychological conundrum of a similar order. Renowned mathematician, logician, philosopher and Nobel prizewinner, he writes English with all the precision and lucidity of which the language is capable. Yet for all its clarity and wit, the first volume, instantly acclaimed in England as a classic, leaves unresolved problems of character. To some, he is a crypto-mystic, to others, a heartless brain. Most recently he has become an excessively emotional organizer of peace marches who mouths anti-American propaganda drivel...
Dotty Aunt. Bertie was born destined for great things, but what things? Grandfather Lord John Russell had been Prime Minister, and his mother was a Stanley-one of a rich and titled tribe that took a hand more than once in governing England. His father, Lord Amberley, was a freethinker; his mother an even freer one. They died in Bertie's infancy, leaving him to be brought up by two atheist tutors. Mother had been sleeping with one of them, but on the highest principles: poor fellow was a tubercular, and it was then thought that he should have...
