Ludwig, 80, who scraped together $25 at the age of nine to buy a sunken boat and now operates one of the world's largest shipping fleets, made a rare public appearance last week in Richmond, Va.

Hitchcock himself jaunts onto the screen in the opening minutes, his belly pulling up to and bouncing off the closing door...
...golfers finished sandwiched between Jacksonville and Flagler in their first duel match played on Flagler's home 18, the Donald Ross-designed Ponce de Leon course. Flagler is a small college golfing titan, so the Crimson's one-stroke victory proved as rare and refreshing as the barbecued steaks served up by Flagler's colorful coach Hoop Thebault at his St. Augustine condominium...
