...cold November day in 1620 when a band of Algonquin Indians looked up and saw the square-rigger Mayflower bobbing off the shores of Massachusetts. To their minds this, understandably, was an unexpected sight. Last week, as a reasonable facsimile of the ship sailed-or, more exactly, was towed (against the tide by a Coast Guard cutter)-into sight of thousands at Provincetown, on Cape Cod, there was no surprise, for the voyage of Mayflower II had for months been heralded in the land till many New Englanders grew bored or cynical. Yet, as Mayflower II picked up her mooring...
...Provincetown for only a brief ceremony, next morning set sail westward to Plymouth, where the townspeople, long accustomed to tourism, turned out (in Pilgrim costume) to give the ship and crew the publicity-tuned kind of welcome that made the proud Provincetown folk bitter. From Oklahoma came 40 genuine Indians led by former New York Yankee Pitcher Allie Reynolds (also in the group: part-time Indian Will Rogers Jr.); the local Mayflower Transit Co. pulled its vans into camera range; an airplane zoomed overhead trailing a banner exhorting the Pilgrims to dine at "The Leaning Tower of Pizza...
...always perplexed by Christian preaching, which invariably leads to a point where a decision is called for.

This turbid plot-boiler clearly rates a special award as the sexiest West Indian travelogue ever made. The mating season is always in full swing on the throbbing Caribbean isle of Santa Marta, which doubtless boasts the highest imaginary birth rate of any 50-mile-long island under the sun. Island employs even the unsubtle cinema device of the screen-bottom exit, pointed up with gasps and romantic...
...Kittinger could not see the surface that he might hit, so airplane pilots circling below him talked him down, telling him when to drop a little ballast to keep in the air until he had cleared all dangerous obstacles. At last the gondola settled into the shallow water of Indian Creek 80 miles from its take-off place. Colonel Stapp jumped out of his helicopter and unlatched the gondola's cover. Kittinger stepped out grinning. "Not a red hair of his head," said Stapp, "had turned grey...
