...camera sees gray clouds, a churning gray sea, the spray-lashed stones of a harbor breakwater, and at the breakwater's end, facing seaward, the cloaked and motionless figure of a woman. A storm is blowing up. There is danger. A passerby, a tall, mustached young man, makes his way out along the breakwater to warn the solitary watcher. Over the rising wind he calls out to her that she is not safe. Now the mysterious figure turns, plucks aside the rough cloth of her hood and stares at the man, or through him, for a few moments.

Hard by the harbor's edge in the venerable Massachusetts fishing port of Gloucester stands the bronze statue of a fisherman, dressed in slicker and sou'wester hat and clutching a schooner's wheel.

"Absolutely wonderful," gushed Carolyn après he. "We just relaxed and listened to music and chatted. The Prince talked about my modeling career and a little about the navy...
Ecological Hazard. No scientists are willing to forecast the effects of the oil now spreading seaward from the Argo Merchant. Most believe that if the globs of oil, called oilbergs because most of their mass is below the surface, continue to move east, the damage will be held to a minimum. But shifting winds could still bring the oil ashore, fouling beaches and causing massive ecological damage. The spill has already driven hundreds of sea birds ashore, bedraggled and helpless. The oil could also threaten humpback whales, which migrate through the affected area, and imperil the already endangered gray seals...
