Whether Bobby Sarnoff was pushed from the job or left on his own, the fact remains that his parting was more than sweet sorrow. TIME has learned that as of Jan. 1, 1976-the day after his resignation took effect-Sarnoff became a consultant to RCA at an annual retainer of $75,000. His new contract runs for ten years.

So the voyage covered only about 35 miles, ending against the rocks of the island...
