Margot Fonteyn-Dame Commander of the British Empire,* star of Covent Garden's Royal Ballet, top ballerina of the Western world-cast a large, limpid brown eye through her camera view finder and pressed the little button. A flashbulb's white glare froze a busy scene against the black of a tropic night on the Gulf of Panama, in the Pacific.

...motorcade crawled across the bedlam of a citywide celebration. Lew turned up the convertible's radio and listened to a newscaster's description of the excitement. A careless woman cut her foot on a broken beer bottle. A man smashed his camera on the sidewalk when a flashbulb failed to fire. Eight nuns standing back from the curbside crowd waved their shy congratulations. Before the night ended, half a million Wisconsinites had cheered the champions, and 35 elbow-benders were in the drunk tank...
