...several days. Salvatore "Sam" Favaloro, 60, should be out at Georges Bank, some 160 nautical miles from his home port of Gloucester, Mass., fishing for cod and haddock in his 70-ft. trawler Cara Lyn. Instead, he is tied up at a dock in Gloucester's inner harbor, worrying about how he is going to pay for the parts he needs for Cara Lyn's engine...
Nothing about Reagan is spectacular--except his continuing success. Almost nothing that Reagan does is all that great--but he does something.

...Liberty, the 4,800-lb. copper beacon had been badly damaged by the elements. Last week a new torch based on the original 1886 design by French Sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was raised 305 ft. to its perch in Liberty's right hand, overlooking New York Harbor.

During the ceremony, Regional National Park Director Herbert Cables said that the new torch would "shine more brightly than ever." Indeed, it shall. New lights will...

Now on Wednesdays (women's races) and Fridays (men's), hundreds of locals congregate in Hugh Town's harbor to watch or take part. The Scillys also have one of the world's greatest concentrations of shipwrecks per square mile. Noteworthy wrecks include The Eagle, which went down just west of St. Agnes in 1707, and the anemone-covered King Cadwallen, which sank in 1906. Good underwater visibility ensures excellent...
