...leisure hours, summer or winter, Australia's Prime Minister Harold Holt was never far from the sea. Twenty-three months ago, when he first took office, newspapers all over the world ran pictures of the hardy, silver-haired Prime Minister wearing a rubber wet suit and carrying a spear gun. Holt fished from the rocks, body-surfed in the great Pacific waves that pound southern Australia's Mornington Peninsula, and spent hours with his wife, Zara, exploring rock pools, collecting shells and spearing fish. His greatest delight was snorkeling. "From the moment I put my head under...

As the tape recorder next to his typewriter spun out its violent cues, Kanfer worked on, at times pulling on a rubber exerciser, occasionally gnawing on a sandwich, and frequently pawing through piles of books, magazines, cables and research papers that blanketed his desk, floor and windowsill...

Unless Europe wakes up soon, says Servan-Schreiber, "the third industrial power in the world in 15 years, after the U.S. and Russia, could well be not Europe, but American industry in Europe...
Clearing the Cabin. Coddling of passengers goes just so far, though, and the airlines have yet to devise baggage rules that keep everybody happy. Because too many people have been sneaking aboard with everything from caged pets to rubber trees and stuffed elk heads, the FAA last month flatly prohibited carry-on luggage too big to fit beneath seats (which generally accommodate packages 9 in. high, 13 in. wide, 23 in. long). As one result, American Airlines has stocked O'Hare Airport in Chicago with hundreds of cardboard containers for items plucked from their customers' arms. As another...
