Queen Elizabeth's household allowance comes to $1,330,000 a year, and the allowances for the rest of the family to nearly $500,000 more. What with six palaces, the royal yacht, the Queen's flight of six assorted aircraft plus the cost of royal trains, telephone and postage, the grand total is nearly $6,000,000. No doubt a republican president might be able to shave these royal expenses, but drab ex-politicians usually do not do the job as well as kings and queens who are trained for it.

Even Jack Harrison aboard his luxury yacht is oppressed by the thought that his crew plans to kill...
...trophy that has remained in U.S. hands for 115 years. The British have tried 16 times, the Canadians twice, the Australians once-all have failed. Hope still springs, as long as somebody springs for the price (upwards of $300,000) of a sleek 12-meter yacht. Next September Australia will go again. After trial races in Sydney last week, Top Skipper Jock Sturrock, 51, was eager to boast that "we've got a boat that can win the America...
