...handsome, George Lodge has a striking physical resemblance to his father. While Teddy was becoming an extraverted Kennedy, Lodge was a childhood loner. "I kept pigeons and spent nearly all my free time sailing and fiddling with my boat by myself." In his junior year at Harvard, Lodge married pert Nancy Kunhardt, hauled her off on a month-long honeymoon cruise up the Maine coast to Canada in an open sailboat. When a hurricane whirled by, they anchored in the lee of a desolate island and ate clams for three days...
Freewheeling through Europe for a month, Automaker Henry Ford II's pert post-deb daughters Charlotte, 21, and Anne, 19, got to London in time for a coming-out party, then went on to the French Riviera to sail, sun and waterski.

Mrs. Javits signed on for a twice-a-week stint with the New York Post (circ. 313,349), a paper whose liberalism exceeds even that of Marion Javits' spouse...
...What is sadly visible on the face of Cuba is clearer still in the statistics of economy. The country runs on sugar, and under Communism sugar has been ruined. Little or no cane has been replanted for three years ; most fields have not been fertilized. Many of the ex pert cane cutters who normally harvest the crop are in the militia, and the "vol unteers" who replace them have hacked the stalks so badly that normal regrowth is stopped or stunted. In pre-Castro years, Cuba could count on about 5,000,000 tons of sugar, for which...
