Phil South relaxes on the deck as twilight descends on the French Riviera. The 22-year-old technician from Chelmsford, England, and his girlfriend, Gillian Fell, 26, are aboard easyCruiseOne, a no-frills, budget liner on its maiden voyage from Nice, the start of a tour of the French and Italian coasts that stretches between St. Tropez and Portofino.

In addition, the Administration suffered a painful and perhaps unnecessary blow last week to its Middle East peace efforts as Congress effectively squelched, at least until March 1, a $1.5 billion U.S. arms deal with Jordan's King Hussein.
