...National Theater of Greece performed an emotion-packed scene from Sophocles' Electra. "I don't speak Greek," she said after the performance, "but I know Electra and other Greek tragedies very well from studying them at school." As the North Wind pulled out of Epidaurus harbor and headed for a long weekend among the Aegean isles, Jackie stood in the stern, waving farewell with a tiny blue and white Greek flag...
Apollo & Grope Leaves. After Epidaurus, the North Wind headed for the gemlike isle of Poros and a postcard panorama of lemon trees, whitewashed buildings, and brightly colored caïques in the harbor. The Greek government cut Delos, the island where Apollo was born, off from the outside world for a day, so that Jackie could enjoy its rubbled splendors alone. At Mykonos, an island with a population of 5,000 and 333 churches, every wall in the capital city, and even the cobblestoned streets, had been given a fresh coat of whitewash.

The paper has become conventionally Republican now-and even peaceable. "Certainly nobody can criticize us for being beastly to John Kennedy," says Clarke. "We're pleasantly surprised by the young...
Zanzibar, to the north, is like neither Madagascar nor Tanganyika. Once the major headquarters for Arab slavers, it is a lady island, pungent with the odor of cloves and the glamour of Araby. Tourists can ride the streets in dilapidated rickshas, visit the old Arab waterfront fort and the harbor, where old wooden dhows with odd-looking lateen sails load up for trips to the mainland. They can buy French perfumes, Indian craft jewelry, or copies of the famed, huge oaken "elephant doors," which are covered with spikes to keep elephants from leaning on them. They are an unusual curio...
