...London's gilded youth. Rosa smiled benignly on their amours, and could always provide a trusted young guardsman or undergraduate with a compliant partner. "All luxuries are overused," she said, "but sexual immorality is sometimes the least dangerous." She was also famed as hotel-dom's Robin Hood, from her habit of loading penurious guests' bills onto the richest resident, who for years was a meek, abstemious millionaire she called Froggy...
Eichmann, clad in brown slacks and a brown, open-necked shirt, took his position on a black-painted trap door beneath a beam from which a noose dangled. His arms were bound behind him, and he refused the proffered black hood. Face white, voice rasping, he sent greetings to his wife, his family and his friends.

Built in secrecy at a cost of $300,000, she is what her builders call a "beamy cutter," shaped like a wine glass and 1½ ft. wider than normal for 12-meter yachts. Like Gretel she has a divided cockpit, but the helmsman stands...
...This is a case of maximum keel and minimum hull," says Engineer Stedman Hood, Ted's father. "Every little bit you can save in hull weight can be added to the keel for extra stability and better sail performance." Radical as she is, nobody is selling Nefertiti short. Ted Hood's new boat looks fast, and at the very least, she should have perfect sails...
