Nahant, Nantasket, and Revere Beaches. These beaches hang on the city limits of Boston, in Nahant. Hull and Revere, respectively. They are MDC maintained, and they look it. On a busy weekend, most people don't bother to police their bad instincts, so what you have is a lot of trash. Revere and Nantasket have always been adjacent to amusement parks, and the hush of the waves is complimented by traffic noise and the sound of nearby mechanical thrills.

Even Geritol, that elixir of the sunset years, has aimed for some time...
When its black hull slipped into the waters off Groton, Conn., last week, the submarine Ohio launched a new era in nuclear warfare. Regarded as one of the world's most sophisticated weapons systems, it is the first of a planned fleet of 13 Trident A-subs. In size alone the Ohio is staggering: its 560-ft. length is five feet longer than the Washington Monument, and its 18,700-ton displacement nearly equals that of World War II's Yorktown-class aircraft carriers. Equally monumental is the ship's $1.25 billion price...
