...Argonauts get into all sorts of telegenic scrapes. In one episode, the Argo is sailing through a maritime falling-rock zone, with boulders crashing into the sea from viselike cliffs. Hera, watching the show live, sends Triton from the bottom of the sea to hold the rocks apart so the Argo can sail past. Jason sails on to get the Golden Fleece. He needs this gelt pelt in order to claim the throne of Thessaly, but it is watched over by the Hydra, as disgusting a monster as ever writhed and roared on the screen. Hydra has more heads than...
Teddy explained that the President heartily approves of "Operation Sail," a private but State Department-endorsed project in which sailing ships from some 21 nations would race across the Atlantic-and help publicize the Fair. To prove his case, the Senator produced a statement from the President. "I am looking forward eagerly to Operation Sail," it said. "The sight of so many ships gathered from the distant corners of the world should remind us that strong, disciplined and venturesome men still can find their way safely across uncertain and stormy seas."

...pick up a bit of sophistication here and there. But I was probably sophisticated when I was five," quipped theatrical Man-for-All-Seasons Noel Coward.

Menotti's story is told in searing memories that come to the bishop in his deathbed. Having blessed the children who set sail from Brindisi on the way to their deaths in the Children's Crusade, he torments himself with recriminations. "What faith, what love, can justify the man who makes himself the arbiter of other people's lives?" he pleads-but the chorus gives him no answer. The children's innocent voices haunt him. The adult chorus damns him: "Cursed be the shepherd who leads his flock to death," the people cry, and they burn...
...Janet Travell, President Kennedy's back expert. President Hewitt's life down on the farm (on the banks of the Rock River) is not exactly typical of his customers' way of life. He and his wife raise 130 Arabian horses, love to ride and sail, get away to Europe for at least two months almost every year. A trim and distinguished-looking man who likes expensive suits and first-class living, Hewitt collects art and is hipped on architecture. The company's new headquarters, designed by the late architect Eero Saarinen, is a striking seven-story...
