...think group travel with Cunard is just a trip on a ship," announces a promotional brochure for R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth 2, "we've got news for you." True, if unwittingly, to its word, the Cunard Line ("Great Ships of British Registry since 1840") came up last week with the non-ship-trip of all time. Little more than a day out of New York harbor on a scheduled seven-day Caribbean cruise, the self-billed Greatest Ship in the World lay dead in the water: a leaking fuel line had put all three boilers incurably out of commission...
...discotheques rocked away with Elizabethan abandon. And many young couples were seen to be popping below quite early, leading one ancient mariner to muse that the cruise might be fruitful beyond Cunard's calculations. The great drift-in's only real disaster, said New Bedford, Mass., Travel Agent Bob Penler, occurred "when...
Goode's constructed fragments of staircases are among the emptiest works of art ever to travel east of the Rockies, and Ruscha's variations on the painted word-as-object, which derive from Jasper Johns, are so cute that Alloway's normal eloquence is reduced to calling them "deceptively obvious."

Taking a different tack, Electric Fuel Propulsion, Inc., of Ferndale, Mich., has designed the Thunderbolt, which uses a more powerful and longer lasting battery system than other electrics, enabling it to travel almost twice as far between recharges at speeds of up to 70 m.p.h. Complete recharging takes about 90 minutes (special equipment and electric lines are necessary) and costs approximately 1? per mile. Most important, the Thunderbolt uses the body and other parts of standard-production Detroit automobiles, mounted on top of a special heavy-duty chassis. Main drawback: the price is a Cadillac-like...
...Sterling, Mich., is taking another approach to the electric vehicle market. Aiming at retirement communities, for which it already produces a bicycle-type two-passenger pedal car, EVI plans to manufacture an electric version starting next fall. The Electric Powered Vehicle will be three-wheeled, travel at 25 m.p.h. for up to 45 miles between recharges, and cost under...
