...more work and less public ceremony for the participants. President Reagan will travel every morning by covered motor launch across the Venetian lagoon from the plush Hotel Cipriani, where he will stay, to the tiny Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, situated directly across from the famous Piazza San Marco. The formal summit talks will take place in the bay-windowed, dark-paneled library of a 17th century Benedictine monastery on the miniature island. Security will be so tight that the traditional photograph of the summit leaders will be taken in a monastery courtyard, rather than at the lagoon's edge...
...couple of years ago, when Stan turned 65 and retired, he and Thelma and two dogs, two cars and a 32.3-ft. sloop moved to Marco Island, a clean, windswept three-mile by five-mile sandbar in the Gulf of Mexico. The surroundings were gorgeous (Marco Island, with the soft brush of its palm fronds sounding like rain in the night, is the sort of place even bona fide Floridians retire to), but full-tilt retirement didn't agree with Stan.

Throughout Italy weather conditions caused at least six deaths and several billion dollars' worth of property damage...
...York City's Central Park, the Rad Dogs, five Hispanic teens from the Bronx, enthrall crowds with their bike-borne acrobatics. "That was a Miami hop, followed by a pedal picker and a helicopter," explains Paul Perez, 16, after a display that bends the laws of physics. Marco Quezada, 16, tells the Rads' story: "We had nothing much to do until we saw a guy with a trick bike who did a few things, simple stuff, but we were real impressed. So we all started going out to get bikes of our own. That was two years...
