...splendid young who went right on dying and getting mutiiated while we sat here savoring the drawn-out luxury of changing our minds. Then we can all get back to our color TVs and walnut-paneled cabin cruisers or, if we're the artistic type, our pornographic literature and our underground movies...
...face full of brandy tossed at her by Sherwin Filiberti, 28, wife of one of Judy's business partners and a companion on what was supposed to be a convivial Pan Am flight to London.

At the moment, Cuba averages 40 tons of cane per acre, while Jamaica, with essentially the same climatic conditions, yields 60 tons an acre. In Hawaii, the figure is 200 tons. The Cuban economic planners are now slowly replacing old cane plants with new ones which yield much more sugar.
