...after he was elected to lead Britain's limping and divided Labor Party last week, Neil Kinnock and his wife Glenys took a stroll along Brighton beach for the benefit of photographers.

Bunyanesque waves as high as 16 ft. crunched homes and municipal piers into little more than kindling wood. The raging surf destroyed Esther, the man-made oil-well island off the coast of Huntington Beach. The heavy seas bit off a 400-ft. section of the historic Santa Monica pier. Along the ravaged coast, more than 1,600 homes were damaged, including dozens in expensive enclaves of Santa Barbara and Stinson Beach. Tennis Star Billie Jean King's exclusive Malibu home, the subject of a celebrated "palimony" suit by her former lover Marilyn Barnett, was pounded off its foundation...
