...beastly work. Off Cape Cod, the Atlantic is a battleground for the warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador Current, and the weather veers from dim to foul. Strong subsurface currents swirl at unknown depths below. But the crew of Atlantis was both skilled and lucky; photos taken a half-mile north of Contact Delta showed a string of debris on the bottom. The pictures picked out hundreds of pieces of twisted metal, a shredded copper cable, a half-pint milk carton standing peacefully right side up, and a white Navy coffee mug lying on its side. Nothing...
...matter how eloquently Macmillan may weather the parliamentary crisis, the Tories simply cannot afford to be tarred by Christine. What they have traditionally offered the nation is men born and raised in the exacting disciplines of leadership. If now, in addition to all the political and economic reverses they have suffered in the past year, Britons should conclude that Etonian and Harrovian leaders are personally no wiser or more upright-and in many cases they have proved flagrantly less so-than those whom they govern, twelve years of Tory government may end in a mighty flash of moral indignation mixed...
Over the Memorial Day weekend, for instance, there were no fewer than four fly-ins. Near Elmira, N.Y., the second annual Southern Tier Air Fair drew 172 private planes and some 2,500 visitors to the Chemung County Airport, despite a bad weather forecast.

Yesterday afternoon was rather amazing. In the first place, more than 7000 people actually went down to Kindle-stick Park to watch the Harvard-Yale baseball game. Secondly, in the middle of June these hearty alumni were subjected to near arctic weather that would have driven a sensible polar bear into hibernation. Third, Paul Del Rossi struck out seven in a row but nearly found himself en route to the shower room for wildness. The band was in tune...
