Dedicated cruisers have oceans of opportunity to exercise their mind offshore. Many cruise lines bring lecturers and experts on board, but few do it better than the Delta Queen Steamboat Co. The Civil War and the Korean War are themes on this year's agenda, as are gardening, history and historic inns. Lectures and courses are part of the package on steamboat cruises that range from a low of $660 per person for a three-night voyage in the least expensive cabin to $9,170 for the highest-category cabin on a two-week trip...

At the age of 40, Bush was still finding himself in Midland, Texas; McCain had already served as a naval aviator in the Vietnam War and endured 5 1/2 years of hell as a prisoner of war.

...July 15. It is to be led by Trimble, who finds himself nudged further and further out on the proverbial limb by the IRA?s recalcitrance and Blair?s seeming tolerance for it. Protestant leaders do not want to be the ones to drag Ireland from peace back into war, but sharing a government with the Catholics when the IRA remains a fighting force is unthinkable to the Protestant rank-and-file. July 12, the emotional high point of marching season, may well be D-Day for all concerned. While their leaders score political points, Protestants are giving peace...
