...some consolation to other blue-water yachtsman to learn that Sumner A. ("My friends call me Huey") Long, 46, suffers from seasickness. It is certainly their only consolation, because Long, a Manhattan ship broker, is the world's most successful ocean-racing skipper. Between 1960 and 1967, Long and his 57-ft. yawl Ondine logged 150,000 miles, entering 66 races that ranged in distance from 19 miles to 3,190 miles -and winning 44 of those races either outright or on corrected time. That Ondine, rechristened Severn Star, currently serves as a training boat for cadets...
...whose total investment in Ondine is estimated (he is not saying) at $500,000 to $1,000,000. Long's chores keep him below decks much of the time, poring over charts- an occupation that undoubtedly contributes to his mal de mer. "I don't see how Huey enjoys sailing," says an Ondine deck hand.

Accompanied by M48 tanks and truckloads of ammunition, rations and bridge girders, they marched toward Khe Sanh. Overhead, five-string formations of Huey helicopters carried the Air Cavalrymen, giant Chinook choppers hauled slings of artillery, and flying cranes brought in bulldozers...
Something Livelier. The Huey was not the only attraction. Elsewhere in the 7,200-sq.-ft. exhibit, whole families scrambled into an M-113 armored personnel carrier for a four-minute film-viewable through the driver's cupola-simulating the troop vehicle's jolting movement over land and water on its way into battle. At a shooting gallery, more kids lined up for electronic target practice with Army rifles ranging from the .58-cal. Civil War "Zouave" to the M16, or tried to knock out miniature moving tanks with a fixed "Dragon" antitank missile launcher, the weapon that...
