...this year are mass-produced, prefabricated "kit-boats," which an amateur boatbuilder can put to gether for as little as 50% of the cost of buying a finished boat.

Chris-Craft cabin cruiser ($1,995). Chris-Craft alone has nine kit-boat models, has turned over their Caruthersville, Mo. factory to making them...

The Catholic party bitterly resented such gerrymandering. "See that woman pushing her pram up the hill with two babies and bundles, and her pregnant?" asked a Londonderry Republican. "Those houses she's going to could have been put up down below on as level a piece of land as ever you saw, but it might have risked a Unionist majority, to put working-class Catholics in that district."
