Storage space is almost as tight as on a spaceship, and living quarters are as cramped as they were for Captain Bligh's midshipmen. Says a California boatwife: "When you cook corned beef and cabbage, everything you wear next day smells like corned beef and cabbage." Miamian Tom Dixon, 35, who inhabits a relatively spacious 45-ft. catamaran houseboat he designed and built, notes that his 360-sq.-ft. living area is the equivalent of a one-car garage. Even at a dock, high winds and storms can make a boat dweller feel as if he were inside...
Begin's visit to the U.S. last July erased many remaining apprehensions. In Washington, he got along well with Carter and congressional leaders; in New York, he impressed leaders of the Hasidic Lubavitcher sect, the Central Conference of American Rabbis and several other groups. Says Miamian Val Silberman, national vice chairman of the United Jewish Appeal: "Everyone went away feeling good about him." Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman told TIME Jerusalem Correspondent David Halevy that Begin's main and "probably only real success in the U.S. was to unite American Jewry behind him and Israel...
Even more remorseful was one of Segretti's Florida agents, Martin Kelly, 24, a Miamian. More articulate and politically savvy than the other two witnesses, he declared sadly: "Any shame or abuse that can be heaped on me is certainly well deserved."

Quipped the normally solemn Senator Joseph Montoya: "You must have...
...producer-promoter of this unusual event is Murry Woroner, the Miamian behind radio's popular computerized boxing series (TIME, Nov. 8, 1968). For the fight, a panel of several hundred sportswriters and ex-boxers rated each of the champs on 129 characteristics (speed, tendency to cut, ring generalship). The results were then put through an NCR 315 computer, which spun out a punch-by-punch script...
...probe-and to formal charges. Last month, just two days before he was to be released from the Army, charges of murdering "approximately 100" civilians at My Lai were preferred against one of C Company's platoon leaders, 1st Lieut. William Laws Calley Jr., a 26-year-old Miamian now stationed at Fort Benning, Ga. Last week Staff Sergeant David Mitchell, a 29-year-old career man from St. Francisville, La., became the second My Lai veteran to be charged (with assault with intent to commit murder). The Army has another 24 men (15 of whom are now civilians...
