Now, after ferrying a twin-engined Piper Apache to its Australian buyer, the housewifely Santa Monican couldn't wait to board a Pan Am 707 jet and get home to her husband. Weatherwise, she admitted that she had bounced around a bit during the island-hopping twelve-day flight. And there was a tense moment when "one engine sort of hiccoughed.

Douglass was better treated than most. A mulatto, he had a hunch that his master was his father. At about the age of seven, he was loaned to his master's relatives in Baltimore, where his new mistress started to teach him to read until her husband grumbled that literacy would make the boy "unfit to be a slave." Douglass snitched books from the house and bribed little white boys to help him with the hard words. He scrawled letters on any available walls. Eventually he mastered the language and held classes to teach his fellow slaves. "Those...
