Adding to the normal opulence of the liner's staterooms and saloons were ballroom and calypso bands, an assortment of fandango dancers, cabaret singers and social directors, and enough rich food and free Virgin Islands rum (for those who tired of the domestic champagne) for a well-sated cruise of indefinite duration-and all at the bargain price of $250 a head.

Even the blunt fact of racial segregation, known well to anyone in the schools dealing with normal vision, went for many years unadmitted and was repeatedly denied...
