...which he has entertained celebrities ranging from Clark Gable to Saudi Arabia's King Ibn Saud. Aside from the yacht, Ludwig's only hobby is making money. To that end, he once ordered his designers to work out a way to carry oil in tankers' big hollow masts. When this proved impractical, Ludwig simply ordered his ships built from then on with no masts at all-just pipes to carry navigation lights...
Although there is lots of body and little clothing in Jamaica, the choreography seems merely mass-produced, and only mildly erotic. Even bodies cannot hide the basic, familiar fault: the book is hollow. On a tiny island near Jamaica, Koli, the chief fisherman, and Savannah, the most eligible young woman, have a bumpy time getting married. They like each other. They don't. They do. They don't.

Hughes, who lives about 1½ miles away, was summoned before a justice of the peace, ordered to bounce the new occupants and their noise or be fined for a zoning violation. Hughes complied; the members finished their coffee, turned off their phonograph and disappeared. At week's end Householder Myers waited uneasily to see in what guise they would next turn up.
