...King Paul and pert Queen Frederika entertained two neighbors with whom they were once not even on speaking terms. Their guests: Yugoslavia's Dictator Tito and his buxom mate Jovanka. Convoyed constantly and zealously by security-mad Greek cops, Frederika and Jovanka climbed into a tiny motorboat, Paul and Tito into another, raced each other along Corfu's waterfront. Ashore, hosts and guests buzzed about merrily in two M.G. sports cars, tops down, good will...
Dawson Trotman clambered back into a motorboat one day last week after two hours of waterskiing on Schroon Lake, N.Y. He was dog-tired, but before he settled down he asked one of the two girls in the boat, Allene Beck, if she could swim; when she shook her head, he traded places with her so she would be in a safer spot. Minutes later the speeding boat bounced on a wave, and both of them, the 50-year-old man and the girl, shot into the water. He swam to her and held her head above water until...

U.S. Ambassador Bohlen then challenged Mikoyan to a rowing race, and when Bohlen won, Bulganin and other Soviet officials...
That was in the old days. Now atomic fission is everywhere. Nowhere is the conflict between East and West, Communism and Democracy, so clearly outlined as on the Charles River. A nightmare is haunting today's single sculler: the vision of a motorboat filled with little boys. The little boys are armed with rocks, and they pursue him relentlessly until he is capsized into the nuclear waters of the Charles, Cambridge's first casuality from radioactivity...
