...enough haul is accumulated, it is blown up on Omaha after the tide has come in. At Arromanches-les-Bains, snuggled between yellowish cliffs, pony-drawn buggies roll along the beach to show tourists the town's main attraction: Port Winston, the Allies' huge artificial harbor of 115 ferro-concrete caissons, each weighing 6,000 tons. Through Winston the Allies funneled 2,500,000 troops, half a million vehicles and 4,000,000 tons of supplies in the eight months after Dday. Only 40 of the caissons jut above the water now, roosting places for seagulls and shadow...
...songs-The World I Used to Know, a medley of Stanyan Street, Lonesome Cities and Listen to the Warm -and reciting a poem about one of his few New York friends, A Cat Named Sloopy. He wandered through a set that seemed to have been plucked from a haunted harbor on San Francisco Bay. If the fog spewing out of the NBC special-effects machine looked at times as if it were going to swallow McKuen alive, at least the audience could rest assured that he would go down rasping out a song with lyrics that said something...

The ironic part is that if we neglect our defenses and spurn our defenders, another Pearl Harbor may occur. Then public feeling will well up, and courting of our soldiers will once again be in style. As Rudyard Kipling wrote of the peacetime military man nearly 80 years...
...afford the price of admission, the U.N. Plaza's twin towers offer the best views in Manhattan. From behind its huge windows (when the wind blows the smog away), residents of "the Compound," as they affectionately call it, can see north to Westchester County, south to New York Harbor and the open ocean beyond, east to Kennedy Airport, and west to the New Jersey Palisades. Prices range from $75,000 for a one-bedroom apartment up to $275,000 for a nine-room duplex-plus maintenance charges of as much as $2,000 a month. A U.N. Plaza apartment...
