...weather and any other aspect of the day's events that struck his fancy. In those years, two rounds were played on the final day of a tournament so Darwin would digest the morning round over a midday meal. Afterwards, he would compose his article while sipping port, always for he did not believe in taking highlights out of sequence. This dignified attitude is transparent in what is considered the most famous line Darwin ever penned. "Then it was time to go to tea," he wrote after watching only the first two holes of Henry Cotton's record shattering round...
...catch was a fluke-only once before this year had Boucher caught any yellowtail flounder-but New England fishermen hope that it was an omen. Reason: Shanty Girl was the first dragger to dock at New Bedford, the region's largest fishing port, since a new law took effect on March 1, extending U.S. jurisdiction over fishing in coastal waters to 200 miles from the old limit of twelve. The law is intended to save from extinction many species of fish-as well as much of the U.S. fishing industry...
...petroleum-rich, water-poor Saudi Arabia. A French engineering firm hired by the Saudis is studying whether or not the plan is practical. Towed by six tugs, the French believe, an iceberg could make the 5,000-mile journey from the bottom of the world to the Red Sea port of Jidda in six months to a year. If the mountain of ice was large enough-say 85 million tons-and wrapped in insulating plastic, it would shrink by no more than 20% along the way, providing enough water to the desert kingdom to make the venture economically feasible...
...York harbor, the Coast Guard waged a bitter struggle to keep shipping lanes open to the nation's busiest port. Sandy Hook Channel, one of the two main passageways, finally was closed as the unusually heavy ice submerged or moved navigational buoys. No one wanted to risk yet another major oil-tanker disaster. Icebreakers rammed their curved prows against ice up to 18 in. thick to keep the Hudson open as far north as Albany. Surprisingly, the faithful Staten Island ferry kept moving Manhattan workers in comfort to their jobs across the windswept harbor...
That slogan would not fly on Madison Avenue, but it is proving persuasive enough in Pepsi-Cola's newest market: the Soviet Union. Since 1974, when cases of Pepsi began rolling out of a new plant in the Black Sea port city of Novorossisk, sales have grown to 50 million bottles in 1976 and may climb another 20% this year. Pepsi's venture has set a pattern for future deals in the just stirring market for Western consumer goods in Russia...
