...dock around 11:30 a.m. for what promised to be a superb day of cruising. Joining him were his daughter, Lady Patricia Braourne, 55, her husband Lord Brabourne, 54, their twin sons Timothy and Nicholas, 14, and Lord Brabourne's mother, the Dowager Lady Brabourne, 82. An Ulster schoolboy, Paul Maxwell, 15, whom Mountbatten had given the coveted summer job of boat boy, cast off the moorings, and the Shadow V, powered by a three-cylinder diesel engine, slowly eased beyond the harbor's protecting stone walls until it cleared the long jetty...
...down to lazy majesté, perhaps. Visiting a sheep farm in Argyll, Scotland, Britain's Prince Charles volunteered to shear a sheep with electric clippers as he had been taught as a schoolboy in Australia. As far as the Highland sheep was concerned, the Prince of Wales' approach was definitely non-ewe. It lunged between his legs and left him looking, well, sheepish. Worse, said Charles: "I was really worried about those horns. That sheep nearly ruined the dynasty...
...ease of Coe's victory dumbfounded his rivals. "He didn't even go full blast," marveled Scott. A graduate this year (in economics) of Loughborough University of Technology, Coe was a late bloomer as a runner. Though a champion schoolboy racer, his world class potential did not appear until later. He ran a 3:57.7 mile in 1977, and he turned in the second fastest 800 meter in the world last year. Still, no one saw him as any threat to his celebrated countryman Steve Ovett, 23, who until last week was the top-rated miler around. Ovett...
SEXUAL perversity is perhaps Zappa's best-known theme, stemming from his noted lack of sexual inhibitions. If, as a cherubic young schoolboy, Francis Vincent has been cast as the innocent child in "The Emperor and His Clothes," he would sooner have made unflattering remarks about the emperor's genitals than about his lack of apparel. Always fond of extended "comedy show" tunes, Zappa has recorded rock's kinkiest scenarios on wax with nary a batting of his beady eyes. (Those of unsalvageable purient interest may refer to the Live at the Fillmore East "white album," or the equally memorable...
Julian Mack and Malcolm Cooper, who qualified first and second (and finished fourth and sixth) in this event in last year's meet at Providence, are both entered in the sprint tonight. Ex-local schoolboy star Jack Gauthier will accompany that duo to the starting blocks in what could be the night's wildest individual race. Gauthier motored to a lightning-quick split of 1:40.19 in his leg of the Crimson's victorious 800 free relay last night...
