...white, powdery beach of Texas' South Padre Island, hundreds of vacationers last week swam and basked in the sun. They seemed oblivious to Coast Guardsmen who were positioning floating barriers in the water. But even as the sunbathers relaxed at the expensive resort, which grosses $40 million annually in tourist dollars, peanut-size globs of oil began to wash up on the beach.

It is hard not to think of Liz Taylor, especially if the thinker happens to have been twelve when she was twelve, all brave and radiant in National Velvet. (Teddy Kennedy was twelve then, and so was John Updike, but they had not wandered into the witch's house, were not on public view.)
