...route to Baltimore's Logan Field the traveler can look down upon the Patapsco fc (Water-Of-Many-White-Caps) River at the spot where, on a British warship in 1814, Prisoner Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star Spangled Banner."

Today perhaps a scientist can chart the seven seas, but it takes a captain with control and leadership to batten down the hatches. The Phi Beta key, its advocates announce, can open many doors, but hatches, are something else again. And anyway, too many males have left their coats quite carelessly unbuttoned for the abdominal honor to be considered a master key to the most exclusive dwellings...
