...high school years, the Shields protege will be spending every weekend day, every summer, racing around triangular courses in Penguins or Blue Jays or Lightnings. When he graduates to larger craft, he will need his weekdays off (no summer work for him) to perfect his skills in rigorous sail drills. He had better not go away to a prep school, because he should spend every winter weekend in frostbite racing, which may give him as many as eight starts a day-eight chances to show his will to win at the starting line, at the windward mark, and again...
Tossed in amidst sprouting red volcanoes, traffic lights, an orchestra, lightning, tricolored smoke, tankers, sail boats and quiet pastoral scenes stand 110 greats of the history of science. To make things less bewildering for the literate, Dufy labeled the figures. Originally he painted all of them - Archimedes, who once ran naked through the streets of Syracuse, Thales, Aristotle, Leonardo, Bacon, Galileo, Faraday, Pascal, Morse, Edison, Bell, Helmholtz-in the nude.

Created by 13 of Denmark's top artists and architects, the playground is modeled after Copenhagen's. Kids can sail paper boats in shallow canals or swoop down a slippery slide into a sandbox, sit at tiny-tot tables and watch fireflies flit in the trees or play hide-and-seek in a maze with magic mirrors...
...visored caps, swarm through the cities celebrating their freedom. Stockholm's pimply raggare, teenage rowdies who drive battered U.S. cars, roar up the Kungs-gatan, stop to pick up a nymphet, then roar off again. Mothers and children troop off to cottages beside gleaming lakes and fjords to sail, swim and hike until fall. Except that they usually adjourn to summer palaces, Scandinavia's royal princes and princesses follow much the same routine. This summer has been different-but then, it's not every year that royal families get to marry off three daughters...
